Eagle's syndrome (ES) is the elongation of the ossified styloid process that causes symptoms such as foreign body sensation, neck pain, and odynophagia. A styloid process greater than 25 mm in length should be considered abnormal. Facial palsy is a condition that affects the facial nerve and results in weakness or total paralysis of the facial muscles that control expression. Here, we describe a rare presentation of ES presenting as facial palsy. We present the case of a 62-year-old female who was admitted to the emergency department with right peripheral facial palsy. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck confirmed the diagnosis. The patient underwent conservative management and physical therapy, which resulted in good evolution with an improvement of symptoms. She was referred to the otorhinolaryngologist for surgical evaluation.
鹰综合征（ES）是指骨化的茎突延长，可引起异物感、颈部疼痛和吞咽痛等症状。茎突长度大于25mm应视为异常。面神经麻痹是一种影响面神经的疾病，可导致控制表情的面部肌肉无力或完全麻痹。在此，我们描述一例以面神经麻痹为表现的罕见的鹰综合征病例。我们报告一名62岁女性因右侧周围性面神经麻痹入住急诊科。颈部计算机断层扫描（CT）确诊。患者接受了保守治疗和物理治疗，症状得到改善，病情进展良好。她被转诊至耳鼻喉科医生处进行手术评估。
