Eagle syndrome, or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament, is a rare condition that may present a clinical diagnostic dilemma for those unfamiliar with its existence and its typical presenting signs and symptoms. Management of this disease process may involve either non-surgical or surgical treatment options. When surgery is indicated, the choice of a specific surgical modality is highly variable and is generally dependent upon individual surgeon preference and experience, since the location of the styloid process is consistent between patients, and the required surgical access is also similar depending upon the specific surgical plan. This paper reports a case of Eagle syndrome managed with a transoral endoscopic-assisted approach, explores the advantages and disadvantages of each surgical approach, and reviews the literature regarding surgical management options for Eagle syndrome.
鹰综合征，即茎突舌骨韧带钙化，是一种罕见病症，对于不熟悉其存在及典型体征和症状的人来说，可能会带来临床诊断难题。该疾病的治疗可能涉及非手术或手术治疗方案。当需要手术时，具体手术方式的选择差异很大，通常取决于外科医生的个人偏好和经验，因为患者之间茎突的位置是一致的，并且根据具体手术方案，所需的手术入路也相似。本文报告了一例采用经口内镜辅助方法治疗的鹰综合征病例，探讨了每种手术方法的优缺点，并回顾了有关鹰综合征手术治疗方案的文献。
