Eagle's Syndrome is the common name for a series of clinical symptoms arising from an elongated styloid process of the temporal bone. The syndrome is named for Watt W. Eagle, M.D., who described its occurrence in a series of articles beginning in 1937. Common presentations of Eagle's Syndrome are a post-tonsillectomy, nerve irritation and an impingement on either the external or internal carotid artery. The styloid process is the first section of the stylohyoid chain, formed by the stylohyoid ligament. Sections of this structure have the ability to mineralize, forming a rigid segment. This mineralized segment is then subject to fracture due to traumatic injury. The literature is reviewed for examples of traumatic fracture of the mineralized stylohyoid ligament, and a clinical case is presented.
鹰综合征是指因颞骨茎突过长而引发的一系列临床症状的统称。该综合征以医学博士瓦特·W·鹰的名字命名，他从1937年开始在一系列文章中描述了其发病情况。鹰综合征的常见表现为扁桃体切除术后、神经刺激以及对外或内颈动脉的压迫。茎突是茎突舌骨链的第一部分，由茎突舌骨韧带形成。该结构的部分区域具有矿化能力，形成一个坚硬的节段。这个矿化节段随后会因外伤而发生骨折。本文回顾了矿化茎突舌骨韧带外伤性骨折的病例，并展示了一个临床案例。
