Eagle's syndrome (ES) is a rare disease in which the styloid process is elongated and compressing adjacent structures. We describe a rare presentation of ES in which the patient presented with facial palsy. Facial palsy as a presentation of ES is very rare. A review of the English literature revealed only one previously reported case. Our case is a 39-year-old male who presented with left facial palsy. He also reported a 9-year history of the classical symptoms of ES. A computed tomography scan with three-dimensional reconstruction confirmed the diagnoses. He was started on conservative management but without significant improvement. Surgical intervention was offered, but the patient refused. It is important for otolaryngologists, dentists, and other specialists who deal with head and neck problems to be able to recognize ES despite its rarity. Although the patient responded to a treatment similar to that of Bell's palsy because of the clinical features and imaging, ES was most likely the cause of his facial palsy.
鹰综合征（ES）是一种罕见疾病，其特征为茎突过长并压迫相邻结构。我们描述了一例罕见的鹰综合征病例，该患者表现为面瘫。以面瘫为表现的鹰综合征非常罕见。对英文文献的回顾显示，此前仅报道过一例病例。我们的病例是一名39岁男性，表现为左侧面瘫。他还自述有9年的鹰综合征典型症状病史。三维重建计算机断层扫描确诊了该疾病。他开始接受保守治疗，但效果不明显。我们建议进行手术干预，但患者拒绝了。尽管鹰综合征罕见，但对于处理头颈问题的耳鼻喉科医生、牙医和其他专科医生来说，能够识别该病很重要。尽管由于临床特征和影像学表现，该患者对类似于贝尔面瘫的治疗有反应，但鹰综合征很可能是其面瘫的病因。
