Eagle syndrome is a rare condition caused by elongation of the styloid process or ossification of the stylohyoid ligament. The symptomatology can be vague but may include dysphagia, odynophagia, otalgia, foreign body sensation, facial pain, trismus, headache, tinnitus, increased salivation, and/or voice changes.
We present the case of a 58-year-old male believed to have acquired Eagle syndrome secondary to osteoradionecrosis of the styloid process following radiation therapy used as adjuvant treatment for a surgically resected pT2N1M0 squamous cell carcinoma of the right tonsil.
Radiation is a common component of treatment for head and neck cancers. The diagnosis of Eagle syndrome secondary to osteoradionecrosis of the styloid process is an elusive, but important, diagnosis to consider because the condition can be treated successfully.
鹰嘴综合征是一种罕见病症，由茎突延长或茎突舌骨韧带骨化引起。其症状可能不明确，但可能包括吞咽困难、吞咽痛、耳痛、异物感、面部疼痛、牙关紧闭、头痛、耳鸣、唾液分泌增加和/或声音改变。
我们报告一例58岁男性病例，该患者被认为在接受放射治疗作为手术切除的右侧扁桃体pT2N1M0鳞状细胞癌辅助治疗后，继发茎突骨放射性坏死而患上鹰嘴综合征。
放射治疗是头颈癌治疗的常见组成部分。继发于茎突骨放射性坏死的鹰嘴综合征的诊断难以捉摸，但却是一个需要考虑的重要诊断，因为该病症可以成功治疗。
