Eagle syndrome is a condition that can present with a wide range of clinical manifestations, including orofacial pain, altered sensation, dysphagia, tinnitus, and ear pain, and is caused by the abnormal elongation of the styloid process or the mineralization of the stylohyoid ligament. We present a case of an incidental finding of Eagle syndrome in a 48-year-old African American patient with losartan-induced angioedema. The patient complained of a foreign body sensation in his throat and mild dysphagia, and a computed tomography scan of his neck showed ossification of bilateral stylohyoid ligaments. This case report highlights the importance of being on the lookout for other pathologies when ordering imaging for primary diagnoses.
鹰嘴综合征是一种可表现出多种临床表现的病症，包括口面部疼痛、感觉改变、吞咽困难、耳鸣和耳痛，其由茎突异常延长或茎突舌骨韧带矿化引起。我们报告一例48岁患有氯沙坦诱发血管性水肿的非裔美国患者偶然发现鹰嘴综合征的病例。该患者主诉喉咙有异物感和轻度吞咽困难，其颈部计算机断层扫描显示双侧茎突舌骨韧带骨化。本病例报告强调了在为初步诊断进行影像学检查时留意其他病变的重要性。
