Stylalgia also referred to as Eagle's or stylohyoid syndrome (first described by Watt Eagle) is a constellation of signs secondary to an elongated styloid process or due to mineralization of the stylohyoid or stylomandibular ligament or the posterior belly of the digastric muscle (Malik et al. in Iran J Otorhinolaryngol 30(6): 101, 2018). The Eagle's syndrome includes symptoms ranging from stylalgia (i.e., pain in the tonsillar fossa, pharyngeal or hyoid region) to foreign-body sensation in the throat, cervicofacial pain, otalgia or even increased salivation or giddiness. Diagnosis is primarily based on symptomatology, physical examination and radiographic investigations and should not be missed. However, palpation of tonsillar fossa with radiological demonstration of the elongated styloid process confirms the diagnosis. Surgical treatment by tonsillo-styloidectomy produces satisfactory results in stylalgia. (Malik et al. in Iran J Otorhinolaryngol 30(6):101, 2018).
茎突综合征也被称为伊格尔氏综合征或茎突舌骨综合征（由瓦特·伊格尔首次描述），是一种由茎突过长、茎突舌骨韧带或茎突下颌韧带矿化，或二腹肌后腹引起的一系列体征（马利克等人，《伊朗耳鼻咽喉科杂志》，2018年，第30卷第6期：101页）。伊格尔氏综合征的症状范围从茎突痛（即扁桃体窝、咽部或舌骨区域疼痛）到喉咙异物感、颈面部疼痛、耳痛，甚至唾液分泌增加或头晕。诊断主要基于症状、体格检查和影像学检查，不容忽视。然而，扁桃体窝触诊并结合茎突过长的影像学表现可确诊。扁桃体茎突切除术的手术治疗对茎突痛疗效满意（马利克等人，《伊朗耳鼻咽喉科杂志》，2018年，第30卷第6期：101页）。
