Abstract
- Eagle's syndrome is a condition that causes a dull, atypical neuralgic pain in the oropharyx, head and neck, often referred to the ear and the mastoid region in association with elongation of the styloid process of the temporal bone. Most people with abnormal styloid process have no symptoms. Recently, we have experienced a case of eagle's syndrome in a 38 year old woman. She had been suffered from sore throat, mild headache, and pharyngeal discomfort when swallowing and turning the head to the right side. It was successfully treated with surgical shortening of the styloid process via transpharyngeal approach under the general anesthesia, and then her symtom was relieved without complication.
