A controversial entity, Eagle's syndrome, is reviewed. After an anatomical description of the maxillo-vertebro-pharyngeal region we summarize the causative, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the syndrome. Two different conditions are often reported as Eagle's syndrome: one characterized by dysphagia and unilateral pharyngeal pain radiating to the ear and worsened by swallowing; the other characterized by pain in the head and neck region due to compression of the neurovascular structure by an elongated styloid process. The latter also includes typical cranial neuralgias (such as glossopharyngeal neuralgia) and carotidynia. We believe that the term "Eagle's syndrome" is legitimate only in the first case and in those "atypical" painful head and neck conditions related to an elongated styloid process and relieved by styloidectomy. We believe Eagle's syndrome deserves consideration in the International Headache Classification.
对有争议的鹰综合征进行综述。在对上颌-椎骨-咽部区域进行解剖学描述后，我们总结了该综合征的病因、诊断和治疗方面。通常被报道为鹰综合征的有两种不同情况：一种以吞咽困难和单侧咽部疼痛放射至耳部且吞咽时加重为特征；另一种以细长茎突压迫神经血管结构导致头颈部区域疼痛为特征。后者还包括典型的颅神经痛（如舌咽神经痛）和颈动脉痛。我们认为“鹰综合征”这一术语仅在第一种情况下以及那些与细长茎突相关且通过茎突切除术缓解的“非典型”头颈部疼痛状况中才是合理的。我们认为鹰综合征值得在国际头痛分类中加以考虑。
