Eagle's syndrome (ES) consists of craniofacial and neck pain due to elongation of the styloid process and/or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament 1 . The normal length of the styloid process ranges from 2 to 3 cm and it is hardly palpable. ES is usually an asymptomatic disease that mostly affects women aged 30 to 50 years.According to Eagle, two types of the syndrome have been described 2 : (A) the classic syndrome characterized by pain in the tonsillar fossa, sometimes associated with dysphagia and hypersalivation, and often followed by tonsillectomy and (B) the styloid-carotid syndrome: the styloid process compresses the carotid arteries and exerts particular pressure on its sympathetic fibers. This subtype is not correlated with tonsillectomy.We report the case of a young patient with ES and a styloid process of normal lenght, but with significant ligament calcification.
CASEA 20-year-old female patient presented at the Neurology Service with a continuous, daily, pressure-type pain on the left side of the neck radiating to frontal and temporal regions.
Tactical police responses that seek to achieve short-term reductions in crime appear to be well suited for micro-time hot spots since they are, by nature, short term. Importantly, the conclusions are based on the evaluation of an agency's systematic implementation of the evidence-based practices as its normal practices and not for the sake of research.
The carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) is a rare complication in patients victimized by craniofacial trauma. It involves multidisciplinary medical action. Owing to its potential complications, it is essential that maxillofacial surgery and neurosurgery specialists diagnose this condition so that appropriate treatment can be performed. The authors present a report of a case 11 years after the surgery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
