ABSTRACT
Eagle syndrome is characterized by recurrent clinical symptoms like globus, dysphagia and odynophagia, which can be explain by an abnormal elongation of the Estiloid Apophysis or the calcification of the estilohioid ligament. It affects in equal proportion to men and women, being most common in people older than 50 years. Its importance is that it appears as a differential diagnosis compared with other causes of cervicofacial pain, being its election treatment, the surgical resection of the Estiloid apophysis.
