ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Este trabalho tem como propósito fornecer uma análise abrangente das características anatômicas, clínicas e radiográficas da Síndrome de Eagle, além de abordar os métodos de diagnóstico e estratégias terapêuticas. Materiais e métodos: Foi realizada uma busca por artigos científicos publicados no período de 2016 a 2024, utilizando as bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), US National Library of Medicine (PubMed) e Google Scholar. A coleta de artigos foi realizada nos idiomas inglês e português, utilizando as palavras-chave: "síndrome de eagle", "síndrome estiloide", "síndrome da artéria carótida", "estilalgia", "eagle syndrome", "styloid syndrome", "carotid artery syndrome" e "stylalgia". Conclusão: Os profissionais devem estar atentos à síndrome de Eagle em casos de dor unilateral ao realizar atividades como engolir, bocejar e chorar, sem causa aparente, especialmente em mulheres adultas que não encontram alívio com analgésicos. Devido à frequência de casos assintomáticos, a realização precoce de exames radiológicos desempenha um papel crucial na avaliação diagnóstica. É essencial que profissionais de Otorrinolaringologia, Neurologia e Odontologia estejam cientes dessa síndrome, pois está associada a uma significativa deterioração na qualidade de vida. (AU)


Objective: This work aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the anatomical, clinical and radiographic characteristics of Eagle Syndrome, in addition to addressing diagnostic methods and therapeutic strategies. Materials and methods: A search was carried out for scientific articles published between 2016 and 2024, using the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), US National Library of Medicine (PubMed) and Google Scholar databases. Articles were collected in English and Portuguese, using the keywords: "eagle syndrome", "styloid syndrome", "carotid artery syndrome", "stilalgia", "eagle syndrome", "styloid syndrome", "carotid artery syndrome" and "stylalgia". Conclusion: Professionals should be aware of Eagle syndrome in cases of unilateral pain when performing activities such as swallowing, yawning and crying, without an apparent cause, especially in adult women who do not find relief with analgesics. Due to the frequency of asymptomatic cases, early radiological examinations play a crucial role in diagnostic evaluation. It is essential that Otorhinolaryngology, Neurology and Dentistry professionals are aware of this syndrome, as it is associated with a significant deterioration in quality of life. (AU)

ABSTRACT

El síndrome de Eagle es una condición anatómica infrecuente caracterizada por la elongación del proceso estiloides generalmente por osificación del ligamento estilohioides. Clínicamente se presenta como una larga historia de dolor crónico cervicofacial tratado por múltiples especialistas y mediante variadas estrategias terapéuticas, caracterizado por sensación de cuerpo extraño faríngeo, trismus, disfagia, otalgia, tinitus, dificultad para la fonación y movilidad reducida del cuello. El promedio de longitud del proceso estiloides es de 2,5 cm. La etiología de este síndrome es poco conocida. El diagnóstico requiere de un alto índice de sospecha, basado fundamentalmente en la anamnesis y el examen físico que se confirma con tomografía computarizada o radiografía panorámica. Ya identificada la elongación, el paciente podrá recibir un tratamiento conservador o quirúrgico dependiendo de la severidad de los síntomas. El manejo conservador incluye fisioterapia, infiltración con anestésicos locales o corticoides y tratamiento con fármacos antiinflamatori os, anticonvulsivos o antidepresivos. El manejo quirúrgico consiste en fracturar el proceso estiloides bajo anestesia general, a través de abordajes transorales o transcervicales. El objetivo de este estudio es presentar el caso de una paciente de género femenino que consultó por dolor cervicofacial crónico bilateral en el servicio de Cirugía Cabeza y cuello y Maxilofacial del Hospital San José de Santiago y una revisión actualizada de la literatura sobre el síndrome de Eagle, abarcando sus aspectos clínicos relevantes enfocado en su diagnóstico y tratamiento.


Eagle syndrome is a rare anatomical condition characterized by elongation of the styloid process, usually due to ossification of the stylohyoid ligament. Clinically, it presents as a long history of recurrent cervicofacial pain, treated by multiple specialists and through various therapeutic strategies, characterized by pharyngeal foreign body sensation, trismus, dysphagia, otalgia, tinnitus, difficulty with phonation and reduced mobility of the neck. The average length of the styloid process is 2.5 cm. The etiology of the syndrome is poorly understood. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, based mainly on history and physical examination confirmed with computed tomography (CT) or panoramic radiography. Once the elongation has been identified, the patient may receive conservative or surgical treatment depending on the severity of the symptoms. Conservative management includes physical therapy, infiltration with local anesthetics or corticosteroids, and treatment with anti-inflammatory, anticonvulsant, or antidepressant drugs. Surgical management consists of fracturing the styloid process under general anesthesia, through transoral or transcervical approaches. In this paper we present a case of a female patient who consulted for recurrent bilateral cervicofacial pain in the Head and Neck and Maxillofacial Surgery service of San José Hospital in Santiago and an updated review on Eagle's syndrome literature, focused on relevant clinical aspects such as diagnosis and treatment.

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: El dolor orofacial y cervical es un motivo de consulta frecuente, y puede deberse a múltiples procesos patológicos. Entre ellos se encuentra el síndrome de Eagle, entidad muy infrecuente cuyo origen se atribuye a una osificación del ligamento estilohioideo o una elongación de la apófisis estiloides. Presentamos una serie de cinco pacientes con dicho diagnóstico.Material y métodosSe describen las características demográficas y clínicas de cinco pacientes atendidos en la Unidad de Cefaleas de dos hospitales terciarios por un cuadro compatible con síndrome de Eagle, y su respuesta a distintos tratamientos.ResultadosSe trata de tres varones y dos mujeres de entre 24 y 51 años, con dolor de localización predominante en un oído y la región amigdalina ipsilateral, de cualidad sorda y de gran intensidad. En todos ellos el patrón temporal era crónico y continuo, con exacerbaciones desencadenadas por la deglución. Cuatro pacientes habían realizado múltiples consultas en servicios de otorrinolaringología, y uno de ellos había recibido tratamiento antibiótico ante la sospecha de tubaritis. En todos los casos la palpación de la fosa amigdalina resultó dolorosa. En tres de los pacientes se demostró elongación de la apófisis estiloides y/o calcificación del ligamento estilohioideo mediante tomografía computarizada. Cuatro mejoraron con tratamiento neuromodulador (duloxetina, gabapentina, pregabalina) y solo uno precisó cirugía con escisión de la apófisis estiloides.ConclusionesEl síndrome de Eagle es una causa de dolor craneofacial poco frecuente y posiblemente infradiagnosticada. Aportamos cinco nuevos casos que permiten delimitar tanto la semiología como los posibles tratamientos. (AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El complejo estilohioideo es una estructura ósea y ligamentosa, formada por varias entidades anatómicas como: la apófisis estiloides, el ligamento estilohioideo y el cuerno menor del hioides. La apófisis estiloides se origina en la porción timpánica del hueso temporal y mide en promedio 25 mm; en ocasiones puede encontrarse aumentada en longitud, situación que puede o no manifestarse con dolor. Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia de mineralización del complejo estilohioideo de pacientes de Ecuador mediante radiografías panorámicas digitales. Material y Métodos: Para ello se analizaron 2025 radiografías panorámicas digitales de pacientes de ambos sexos, de edades entre 12 a 92 años, del período comprendido entre los años 2015-2016. Se consideró como complejo estilohioideo mineralizado, cuando este sobrepasaba los 25mm. Resultados: Se observaron 2025 radiografías panorámicas,de las cuales 1206 (59,6%) radiografías, mostraron algún tipo de mineralización del complejo estilohioideo. De estas 1288 (63,6%) pertenecen al sexo femenino y 737 (36,4%) al sexo masculino. La presentación más frecuente fue bilateral. Además, se encontró que en los adultos mayores la prevalencia alcanzaba el 76%. Conclusiones: En el presente estudio se muestra que existe una alta prevalencia de mineralización del complejo estilohioideo en la población estudiada.


SUMMARY The stylohyoid complex is a bony and ligamentous structure, formed by several anatomical entities such as the styloid process, the stylohyoid ligament and the horn of the hyoid. The styloid process originates in the tympanic portion of the temporal bone and measures an average of 25 mm; sometimes it may be increased in length, a situation that may or may not have pain itself. Objective: To determine the prevalence of mineralization of the stylohyoid complex of patients at the country of Ecuador using digital panoramic radiographs. Material and methods: Analysis of 2025 digital panoramic radiographs of patients of both sexes, between 12 and 92 years of age, from the period 2015-2016. It was considered as mineralized stylohyoid complex, when it exceeded 25mm. Results: Of the 2025 panoramic radiographs, it was concluded that 1206 (59.6%) radiographs showed some type of mineralization of the stylohyoid complex. Of these 1288 (63.6%) belong to the female sex and 737 (36.4%) to the male sex. The most frequent presentation was bilateral. In addition, it was found that in older adults the prevalence reached 76%. Conclusions: In the present study it is shown that there is a high prevalence of mineralization of the stylohyoid complex in the population studied.

ABSTRACT

Eagle's syndrome is rare condition described in 1937 by W. Eagle, and is secondary to the elongation of the styloid process and/or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. Although it occurs asymptomatically in the majority of cases, the pressure exerted by this alternative structure from an anatomical point of view against the neighbouring areas can trigger a great variety of symptoms. It is often wrongly diagnosed, leading to multiple interconsultations with different professionals. This means that the professional must take it into account in those cases of pain in the maxillofacial region without any clear aetiology. The case is presented of a 63year-old patient in whom the only symptom was an invalidating occipital neuralgia, with visits to numerous physicians. A 3-dimension cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) confirmed the clinical suspicion. The treatment consisted of partial resection of both styloid processes.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La osificación de la cadena estilohioidea es una entidad poco frecuente que se caracteriza por dolor neuropático importante en la región facial y la cervical, secundario a la compresión mecánica de las estructuras vasculares y nerviosas del cuello. Tradicionalmente, se trata de una enfermedad de manejo por el otorrinolaringólogo, aunque en algunos casos es necesaria la intervención del cirujano de cabeza y cuello. Es por ello que, en el presente artículo, se presenta un reporte de caso y se hace una revisión de la literatura científica. Caso clínico. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 65 años de edad que consultó por dolor cervical y facial serio, secundario a la osificación del complejo estilohioideo, con necesidad de manejo quirúrgico. Por medio de una cervicotomía, se extrajo la pieza osificada, sin complicaciones perioperatorias y resultados favorables. Discusión. La osificación del complejo estilohioideo es una situación poco frecuente, con un cuadro clínico inespecífico y mecanismos fisiopatológicos desconocidos, que puede llevar a circunstancias potencialmente mortales. Para llegar a su diagnóstico, se debe tener un alto grado de sospecha y se confirma con una tomografía de cuello con reconstrucción tridimensional. Su tratamiento es quirúrgico, aunque también se ha descrito el manejo médico. En la literatura médica, no existen estudios que comparen los métodos diagnósticos y terapéuticos para esta entidad, por lo cual, hasta el día de hoy, existen grandes controversias al respecto. Esto hace necesario que se lleven a cabo nuevas investigaciones en este campo


Introduction: Stylohyoid chain ossification is a rare entity characterized by severe neuropathic pain in the facial region secondary to mechanical compression of neurovascular structures of the neck. Traditionally it is a pathology that requires otorhinolaryngological management, although in some cases the intervention of the head and neck surgeon is necessary. That is why in this article we present the management of a patient with this pathology. Clinical case: Our case is a 65-year-old woman who consulted for severe neck and facial pain secondary to the ossification of the stylohyoid complex and the requirement for surgical management. By means of cervicotomy the ossified piece is extracted, without any perioperative complication and favorable results. Discussion: Stylohyoid chain ossification is a rare pathology, with a nonspecific clinical picture which can lead to potentially fatal circumstances. To reach the diagnosis, the surgeon is required to have a high degree of suspicion and confirmation with a neck CT scan with 3D reconstruction. The treatment for this entity is usually surgical, although medical management has also been described. There are no studies reported in the medical literature comparing the diagnostic and therapeutic methods for this entity, so that until today, major controversies in this regard still remains. It becomes necessary new research in this field

ABSTRACT

Resumen El síndrome de Eagle se considera como la elongación del proceso estiloides con osificación del ligamento estilohioideo o sin él, que se extiende entre el hueso temporal y el hioides. El diagnóstico puede ser realizado principalmente con tomograña computarizada (TC) o radiografía panorámica, por su puesto sin dejar de lado la variedad de signos y síntomas, como dolor cervical, sensación de cuerpo extraño en la faringe, limitaciones en la apertura bucal, dificultad para la fonación, disfagia, otalgia, tinnitus, trismo y movilidad reducida del cuello. Ya identificada la elongación, el paciente podrá recibir un tratamiento conservador o quirúrgico dependiendo de la severidad de los síntomas. El manejo conservador incluye fisioterapia, infiltración con anestésicos locales o corticosteroides y el tratamiento con fármacos antiinflamatorios, anticonvulsivos o antidepresivos. El manejo quirúrgico consiste en fracturar el proceso estiloides bajo anestesia general, a través de abordajes transorales o transcervicales. A continuación, expondremos información pertinente sobre el síndrome de Eagle y posteriormente presentaremos un caso clínico de una paciente con dicho síndrome del servicio de Cirugía Oral y Maxilofacial del Hospital Militar Central.


Abstract Eagle syndrome is considered as the elongation of the styloid process with or without ossification of the stylohyoid ligament, which extends between the temporal bone and the hyoid. The diagnosis can be made mainly with computed tomography (CT) or panoramic radiography, of course without neglecting the variety of signs and symptoms, such as cervical pain, foreign body sensation in the pharynx, limitations in oral opening, difficulty in phonation, dysphagia, otalgia, tinnitus, trismus and reduced neck mobility. Once the elongation has been identified, the patient may receive conservative or surgical treatment depending on the severity of the symptoms. Conservative management includes physiotherapy, infiltration with local anesthetics or corticosteroids and treatment with anti-inflammatory, anticonvul sant or antidepressant drugs. Surgical management consists in fracturing the styloid process under general anesthesia, through transoral or transcervical approaches. Next, we will present pertinent information about the Eagle syndrome and then we will present a clinical case of a patient with said syndrome of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery service of the Hospital Militar Central.


Resumo A síndrome de Eagle considera-se como o alongamento do processo estiloide com ossificação do ligamento estilo-hioideo ou sem ele, que se estende entre o osso temporal e os hioides. O diagnóstico pode ser realizado principalmente com tomografia computadorizada (TC) ou radiografia panorâmica, obviamente sem deixar de lado a variedade de sinais e sintomas, como dor cervical, sensação de corpo estranho na faringe, limitações na abertura bucal, dificuldade para a fonação, disfagia, otalgia, zumbido, trismo e mobilidade reduzida do pescoço. Já identificado o alongamento, o paciente poderá receber um tratamento conservador ou cirúrgico dependendo da gravidade dos sintomas. O tratamento conservador inclui fisioterapia, infiltração com anestésicos locais ou corticosteroides e o tratamento com fármacos anti-inflamatórios, anticonvulsivos ou antidepressivos. O tratamento cirúrgico consiste em fraturar o processo estiloide sob anestesia geral, por meio de abordagens intraorais ou transcervicais. A seguir, exporemos informação pertinente sobre a síndrome de Eagle e, posteriormente, apresentaremos um caso clínico de uma paciente com essa síndrome do serviço de Cirurgia Oral e Maxilofacial do Hospital Militar Central.

ABSTRACT

Summary Eagle syndrome is a rare condition presenting with retroauricular pain (usually as main symptom) associated with dysphagia, headache, neck pain on rotation and, much rarelier, stroke. This occurs due to styloid process elongation. Sometimes, there is also styloid ligament calcification, which can cause compression of nerves and arteries and the symptoms above. Treatment can be conservative with pain modulators (e.g. pregabalin) or infiltrations (steroids or anesthetics drugs). In refractory cases, surgical approach aiming to reduce the size of the styloid process can be performed. We present a rare case of Eagle syndrome (documented by computed tomography) with good response to clinical treatment.


Resumo A síndrome de Eagle é uma condição rara na qual ocorre dor retroauricular (usualmente é o principal sintoma) associada a disfagia, cefaleia, cervicalgia durante a rotação da cabeça e, mais raramente, a AVC. Isso ocorre por conta do alongamento do processo estiloide e, às vezes, há também calcificação do ligamento estiloide. Essas estruturas podem comprimir nervos e artérias causando os sintomas citados. O tratamento pode ser conservador com moduladores da dor, como pregabalina, ou com infiltrações (corticoides ou drogas anestésicas). Em casos refratários, cirurgia para reduzir o tamanho do processo estiloide pode ser realizada. É apresentado um caso raro de síndrome de Eagle (documentado com tomografia computadorizada) com boa resposta ao tratamento clínico.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: painful disorders in the maxillofacial region are common in dental practice. Most of these conditions are not properly diagnosed because of inadequate knowledge of craniofacial and cervico-pharyngeal syndromes such as Eagle Syndrome. The aim of this review is to describe the general aspects, diagnosis and treatment of Eagle syndrome. Eagle syndrome or stylohyoid syndrome was first described by Watt W. Eagle in 1937. It was defined as orofacial pain related to the elongation of the styloid process and ligament stylohyoid calcification. The condition is accompanied by symptoms such as dysphonia, dysphagia, sore throat, glossitis, earache, tonsillitis, facial pain, headache, pain in the temporomandibular joint and inability to perform lateral movements of the neck. Diagnosis and treatment of Eagle syndrome based on symptoms and radiographic examination of the patient will determine the need for surgical or nonsurgical treatment. Eagle syndrome is a complex disorder demanding a thorough knowledge of its signs and symptoms to make a correct diagnosis and provide an appropriate subsequent treatment. Disseminating information about this syndrome among medical-dental professionals is essential to provide adequate dental care to patients.


Resumen: en la práctica odontológica, es frecuente encontrar alteraciones con sintomatología dolorosa en la región maxilofacial, las cuales no son apropiadamente diagnosticadas, a causa del desconocimiento de síndromes craneofaciales y cervicofaríngeos, como el Síndrome de Eagle. El objetivo de esta revisión es describir los aspectos generales, diagnóstico y tratamiento del Síndrome de Eagle. El Síndrome de Eagle o estilalgia es la entidad nosológica, descrita por Watt W. Eagle en 1937, definida como aquel dolor orofacial relacionado con la elongación de la apófisis estiloides y calcificación del ligamento estilohioideo; el cual está acompañado de síntomas como: disfonía, disfagia, dolor faríngeo, glositis, otalgia, tonsilitis, dolor facial, cefalea, odinofagia, dolor en la articulación temporomandibular e imposibilidad de realizar movimientos laterales del cuello. El diagnóstico y tratamiento del Síndrome de Eagle está basado en la sintomatología y el examen radiográfico del paciente, lo cual determinará el tratamiento quirúrgico o no quirúrgico. El Síndrome de Eagle es una patología compleja que requiere un conocimiento amplio de sus signos y síntomas, para establecer un correcto diagnóstico y posteriormente un adecuado tratamiento. Para ello, es necesario difundir la información sobre este síndrome entre los profesionales médico-odontológico y así brindar una atención adecuada a cada uno de los pacientes.

El síndrome de Eagle es una patología infrecuente, caracterizada por la presencia de dolor cervicofacial, cefalea y calambres que se proyectan en la garganta, en el cuello y en el oído. Describimos el caso de una mujer de 36 años, con historia de tumefacción cervical, sensación de irritación faríngea y síncope, en la que en los estudios radiológicos se encontró una osificación total de ambos ligamentos estilohioideo, causante de su cuadro sincopal por compresión carotídea.


Eagle's syndrome is an infrequent pathology characterized by the presence of cervicofacial pain, headache and cramps that are projected in the throat, neck and ear. We reported a case of a 36 year-old woman with a history of cervical swelling, sore throat and syncope, which on imaging studies was found ossification both stylohyoid ligaments, causing carotid compression and syncope.

ABSTRACT

La mayoría de los diagnósticos de procesos estiloides elongados y osificaciones de ligamentos estilohioideos corresponden a hallazgos en el análisis de radiografías panorámicas. En la presente investigación se evaluaron 3028 Radiografías Panorámicas digitales, tomadas entre Junio de 2009 y Junio de 2011. Se registraron las osificaciones de ligamento estilohiodeo de acuerdo a sexo, edad y bilateralidad. El análisis de datos se desarrolló con el Test estadistico Chi cuadrado, con un nivel de significancia estadística a< 0,05. En las imágenes evaluadas se encontró una prevalencia de osificaciones de un 8,42%, siendo más frecuentes en individuos de sexo femenino, osificaciones bilaterales y con patrón discontinuo. En cuanto a la edad se evaluó de acuerdo a grupos de edad menor o igual a 40 años y mayores de 40 años, encontrándose relación con la variable patrón de osificación. También se encontró relación entre las variables lateralidad y patrón de osificación. El presente estudio entrega información relevante para la odontología y la otorrinolaringología.


Most diagnoses of elongated styloid processes and ossification of stylohyoideus ligaments correspond to findings in the analysis of panoramic radiographs. In the present study we evaluated 3028 digital panoramic radiographs, taken between June 2009 and June 2011. Stylohyoideus ligament ossifications were recorded according to sex, age and bilaterality. Data analysis was carried out with the chi square test, with a statistical significance level a <0.05. In the images assessed we found a prevalence of 8.42% of ossifications, which was more frequent in female subjects, and bilateral ossification discontinuous pattern. In terms of age we evaluated according to age group less than or equal to 40 and older than 40 years, as related to the variable pattern of ossification. We also found relation between laterality variables and patterns of ossification. This study provides information relevant to dentistry and otolaryngology.

ABSTRACT

A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar a incidência das alterações morfológicas da apófise estiloide. Para tanto foram selecionadas, aleatoriamente, 1100 radiografias pano­râmicas de pacientes de ambos os sexos, sendo 550 do sexo masculino e 550 do femi­nino, sem limitação de faixa etária. Para um total de 1100 casos de prevalência do tipo 1 (normal), no sexo feminino foi maior com 1034 casos (94%) e no masculino com 932 (84,76%). A prevalência do total de alteração morfológica do processo estiloide encontra­da foi de 168 casos (15,27%) nos indivíduos do sexo masculino e 66 no feminino (6%). No sexo feminino, a prevalência da alteração morfológica tipo 1 (normal) foi maior no lado direito com 524 casos (95,27%), o lado esquerdo ficou com 510 (92,73%), enquanto que para o sexo masculino foi maior no lado direito com 480 (87,27%) ficando o esquerdo com 463 casos (84,18%). No sexo feminino a prevalência da alteração morfológica tipo 2 (alon­gado) foi maior no lado esquerdo (26 casos = 4,73%) do que no direito (18 = (3,27%), enquanto que para o sexo masculino foi maior no lado esquerdo (73 casos = 13,27%) do que no lado direito (59 = 10,76%). No sexo feminino a prevalência da alteração morfo­lógica tipo 3 (articulado) foi maior no lado esquerdo com 11 casos (2%), e o lado direito com 5 ca­sos, (0,91%), enquanto que para o sexo masculino foi maior no lado esquerdo, 13 casos (2,36%), do que no lado direito, 10 casos (1,82%). No sexo feminino a prevalência da altera­ção morfológica tipo 4 (segmentado) foi igual tanto para o lado esquerdo como para o direito, 3 casos (0,55%), enquanto que para o sexo masculino foi igual tanto para o lado esquerdo como para o direito, 1 caso (0,18%)


The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of morphological alterations of the styloid apophysis. Therefore, 1100 panoramic radiographs were randomly selected including patients from both genders (550 males and 550 females), with no age limitation. Among the 1100 cases of type 1 morphological anomaly (normal) was verified a higher prevalence on female patients 1034 cases (94%), and 932 (84.76%) on male patients. Prevalence of total morphological alteration of the styloid process was found in 168 male patients (15.27%) and in 66 female patients (6%). In women the prevalence of type 1 morphological anomaly (normal) was higher on the right side with 524 cases (95.27%), and the left with 510 cases (92.73%), while for males prevalence was larger on the right side with 480 cases (87.27%) and observed on the left side in 463 cases (84.18%). In women the prevalence of type 2 morphological anomaly (elongated) was higher on the left side (26 cases = 4.73%) than on the right (18 cases = 3.27%), while for males was higher on the left side (73 cases = 13.27%) than on the right side (59 cases = 10.76%). In women the prevalence of type 3 morphological anomaly (articulated) was higher on the left side with 11 cases (2%), and the right with 5 cases (0.91%), while for males was higher on the left side with 13 cases (2.36%), and the right side with 10 cases (1.82%). In female patients the prevalence of type 4 morphological anomaly (segmented) was equal for both left and the right, 3 cases (0.55%), while for male patients was equal for both sides, 1 case (0.18%)

ABSTRACT

Styloid syndrome is characterized by an elongated styloid process or calcification of the stylomandibular and stylohyoid ligament. This study describes a case of a 65-year-old woman who presented to the Stomatology Clinic, University of Marilia with temporomandibular joint pain, ear ringing and a reduced ability to open the mouth. Panoramic and posteroanterior digital radiographs showed bilateral elongation of the styloid processes, especially of the right side, whose length extended beyond the mandible angle. The diagnosis was confirmed with the association of clinical data and image examinations. The treatment options for styloid Syndrome include clinical follow-up, surgical removal of the styloid process or fracture of the elongated process. The case was managed by providing prosthetic rehabilitation and clinical follow-up, observing the level of discomfort and the benefit that could be achieved by the therapy, and avoiding surgical intervention.


El síndrome estilode (Síndrome de Eagle) se caracteriza por un proceso estiloides alargado o calcificación de los ligamentos estilohioideo y estilomandibular. Este estudio describe el caso de una mujer de 65 años de edad que concurrió a la Clínica Estomatológica de la Universidad de Marilia con dolor de la articulación temporomandibular, zumbido en los oídos y una disminución de la capacidad de abrir la boca. Las radiografías digitales panorámica y posteroanterior mostraron alargamiento bilateral de los procesos estiloides, especialmente del lado derecho, cuya longitud se extendió más allá del ángulo de la mandíbula. El diagnóstico se confirmó con la asociación de los datos clínicos y los exámenes de imagen. Las opciones de tratamiento para el síndrome estiloide incluyen el seguimiento clínico, la extirpación quirúrgica del proceso estiloides o la fractura del proceso alargado. El caso fue tratado con rehabilitación protésica y seguimiento clínico, observando el nivel de molestia y el beneficio que se podría lograr mediante la terapia, evitando la intervención quirúrgica.

ABSTRACT

La elongación del proceso estiloides puede presentarse como una entidad patológica en el territorio craneocervical. Existe controversia en relación a los criterios para su diagnóstico, así como sus diagnósticos diferenciales. En el presente reporte se relata el caso de una paciente de 45 años con lumbagos crónicos, cefalea intermitente, dolor cervical y articular agudo, sin historia de quirúrgica o traumática craneocervical. Radiográficamente, destaca la elongación bilateral del proceso estiloides, determinando un diagnóstico presuntivo de Síndrome de Eagle. Se preconiza que los pacientes deben haber sido sometidos a tonsilectomía o trauma para padecer esta patología, condición ausente en este caso. La correcta discriminación de los signos y síntomas permite diferenciar la patología como síndrome estilohioideo. El presente reporte entrega los criterios a considerar en un paciente con el proceso estiloides elongado asociado a patología, con el fin de canalizar esa información hacia un diagnóstico certero.


The elongation of the styloid process may occur as a pathologic entity in the craniocervical area. There is controversy regarding the criteria for its diagnosis and its differential diagnosis. In this report we present the case of a 45 year old female with chronic low back pain, intermittent headache, neck pain and acute articular, no history of surgical or traumatic in the craniocervical area. Radiographically, bilateral elongation of the styloid process were detected, determining a presumptive diagnosis of Eagle syndrome. It requires that patients must have undergone tonsillectomy or trauma to suffer this disease, a condition absent in this case. The correct discrimination of the signs and symptoms distinguish this condition as stylohyoid syndrome. This report delivers the criteria to consider in a patient with elongated styloid process associated with pathology, to use that information and give an accurate diagnosis.
