Eagle fully described the syndrome that bears his name in 1948. He noted that the typical patient had undergone tonsillectomy in the past. Although reported in the literature, the carotid artery syndrome is frequently overlooked in patients manifesting craniofacial or pharyngeal pain but who have not undergone tonsillectomy. Cases representative of the variety of patients with Eagle's syndrome treated at the Ochsner Clinic Department of Otolaryngology are presented. The diversity of symptoms and its rather uncommon occurrence often make the diagnosis of Eagle's syndrome elusive. The anatomy and embryology of the stylohyoid complex is discussed, as well as the symptoms, differential diagnosis, workup, and treatment of Eagle's syndrome. We hope to refamiliarize the clinician with this condition in order that it be considered in the assessment of patients with craniofacial pain.
伊格尔于1948年全面描述了以他的名字命名的综合征。他指出，典型患者过去曾接受过扁桃体切除术。尽管文献中有报道，但在表现为颅面或咽部疼痛但未接受过扁桃体切除术的患者中，颈动脉综合征常常被忽视。本文介绍了在奥chsner诊所耳鼻喉科接受治疗的各种伊格尔综合征患者的代表性病例。症状的多样性及其相对罕见的发生情况常常使伊格尔综合征的诊断难以捉摸。本文讨论了茎突舌骨复合体的解剖学和胚胎学，以及伊格尔综合征的症状、鉴别诊断、检查和治疗。我们希望让临床医生重新熟悉这种疾病，以便在评估颅面疼痛患者时予以考虑。
