ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Eagle se caracteriza por la elongación del proceso estiloides y/o la calcificación de los ligamentos presentes en él, los que provienen embriológicamente del cartílago del segundo arco faríngeo (Reichert). Esto produce dolor intenso en la región craneocervical y limitación de los movimientos cervicales. Generalmente es confundido con otras patologías, tales como disfunciones en la articulación témporomandibular. El diagnóstico de esta entidad es realizado a través de los correctos exámenes clínico y radiográfico. En este trabajo se reporto un caso y se hace una breve revisión de la literatura, mostrando la importancia del correcto diagnóstico de esta entidad y su sintomatología.


The Eagle's syndrome is characterized by the elongation of the styloid process and/or their ligaments calcification, which come embryologically from Reichert's cartilage or second branchial arch. This produces pain in thecraniocervical region and limitation of cervical movements. Generally is confused with other dysfunctions, such as temporomandibular joint dysfunction. The diagnosis of this entity is by the correct clinical and radiographic exam. In this work is done reporting a case and makes a brief review of the literature, showing the importance of this entity correct diagnosis and their symptoms.

ABSTRACT

La neuralgia del trigémino es una patología que se caracteriza por un dolor paroxístico ante estímulos inocuos, principalmente tactiles y que afecta a una de las divisiones del nervio trigémino. En este artículo se presenta un caso de neuralgia secundaria a la compresión del ganglio trigeminal, producto de un meningioma del ligamento petroclinoideo y una breve revisión de la literatura.


The trigeminal neuralgia is a pathology that is characterized by a paroxictic pain before innocuous stimuli, mainly tactile and that it affects one of the divisions of the trigeminal nerve. In this article we present a case of secondary trigeminal neuralgia, due to meningioma of the petroclinoid ligament and a brief revision of the literature.
