OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to describe both the common and uncommon symptoms associated with Eagle syndrome and share our experience treating a large group of patients with surgical intervention, primarily intraoral excision of the calcified stylohyoid ligament.
METHODS: This retrospective case series included 56 patients at least 18 years of age or older with a diagnosis of Eagle syndrome. All operations were conducted by a single surgeon at a tertiary medical center from 2015 to 2022. Charts were reviewed for demographics, prior medical/surgical history, symptoms, imaging results, operative details, and follow-up history. A phone survey inquired about presenting symptoms and symptom resolution following surgery.
RESULTS: The most common areas of pain were the ear (64.3%), underneath the angle of the mandible (50%), throat (46.4%), and neck (30.4%). Over 70% of patients reported tinnitus, dysphagia, and pain that were exacerbated by head rotation. Fifty-one of the 56 patients underwent surgical treatment, 92.2% via intraoral and 7.8% via cervical approaches. All patients (100%) reached in a phone survey stated that their symptoms resolved or improved after surgery.
CONCLUSION: Eagle syndrome typically presents with common symptoms. However, healthcare providers must also be vigilant for less common manifestations, such as seizures or episodes of dizziness/fainting. These may be caused by calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. Intraoral surgical resection of the calcified ligament is a safe and effective treatment for most patients.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4.
