Eagles syndrome or stylohyoid syndrome is a rare condition where slender elongated temporal styloid process or ossified
stylohyoid ligament manifest a wide range of symptoms including otalgia, dysphagia, foreign body sensation in throat,
pain in retrogonia or along anterolateral neck. It occurs mostly unilaterally however bilateral cases are also reported.
Multislice computed tomography with maximum intensity projections reconstructions is used for diagnosis and management
purposes. It also aids to see its compressive effect on adjacent anatomical structures
