Abstract

Eagle syndrome is characterized by an elongation or excessive medial curvature of the styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament that can cause cervicofacial pain or neurological symptoms due to compression of the vessels or nerves of the neck.

The most effective treatment is surgical and consists of resection of the styloid process, it can be performed by externally or through a transoral approach.The clinical case of a patient with Eagle syndrome who was successfully treated by a transoral approach, without tonsillectomy and with the assistance of endoscopes, is described.
