“…Certain reasons have been forwarded for failure of styloidectomy to relieve the pain of stylalgia like intraoperative injury, subsequent fibrosis and resultant entrapment neuropathy or inadequate shortening of the styloid process [13]. But the failure could also be a result of persistence of etiological factors like inflammation and fibrotic entrapment neuropathy.…”

Eagle's syndrome is caused by elongated styloid process. Its accepted treatment is styloidectomy. However more than one-fourths of patients undergoing styloidectomy do not experience relief. To find the utility of the lidocaine infiltration test to predict the results of styloidectomy in patients clinically diagnosed as having stylalgia. Twenty-six patients undergoing styloidectomy for Eagle's syndrome were included in the study. They were divided into two groups depending on their response to lidocaine infiltration in the tonsillar fossa. Patients were followed up till 3 months after styloidectomy and their pre operative visual analogue scale for pain was compared with the post operative VAS score. Majority of the patients were females and in the fifth decade of life. There were 18 patients in group I and eight patients in Group II. The groups were similar in terms of age and sex distribution and pre operative VAS score for pain. There was good corelation between post infiltration and post operative VAS scores. The test had 94.44 % sensitivity and 87.5 % specificity. The age and sex distribution and the failure rates in the present study were similar to that reported in other studies. There are many other reasons besides elongation which can cause the typical pain of stylalgia and some of them are not amenable to styloidectomy. The lidocaine infiltration test is an useful test to predict the results of styloidectomy for Eagle's syndrome.

ÖZEagle sendromu "styloid" proçesin uzaması veya "stylohyoid" ya da "stylomandibular" ligamentin mineralizasyonu sonucu geliĢir. Faringeal ağrı, farinks te yabancı cisim hissi, yutkunma güçlüğü, ağrılı yutkunma gibi semptomlar görülür. Ayırıcı tanıda temporomandibuler eklem rahatsızlıkları, miyofasial ağrı, nevraljiler, gömülü üçüncü molar diĢler, oral enfeksiyonlar, oral kanserler ve sialadenit düĢü-nülmelidir. Semptomların servikofasial ve kraniofasial bölgede ortaya çıkması ve çoğunlukla yanlıĢ tanılar konularak tedavi edilmeye çalıĢılması nedeni ile diĢ hekimleri sendromun farkında olmalıdır. Bu derlemenin amacı Eagle sendromu teĢhisinde diĢ hekimlerinin rolünü vurgulamak ve Eagle sendromu etiyolojisini, güncel tanı ve tedavi yöntemlerini sunmaktır.

“…The most satisfactory and effective treatment is surgical shortening of the styloid process through either an intraoral or external approach (Boedts, 1978 Prognosis of Eagle's Syndrome is guarded by surgical failures (up to 20% of patients). This may be due to intraoperative injury, subsequent fibrous entrapment syndrome, or inadequate shortening of the process, assuming that the diagnosis was correct in the first place (Ghosh and Dubey, 1999).…”
