Abstract :Eagle’s syndrome (ES), also known as the stylohyoid syndrome, is defined as the elongation of a styloid process by more than 30 mm and the mineralization of the stylohyoid-stylomandibular ligament. Two types of ES are described in the literature: classical stylohyoid syndrome and vascular stylocarotid syndrome. While bilateral ES is commonly seen in women, the symptoms are usually unilateral. This case report describes the surgical treatment of a 45-year-old female patient with bilaterally-elongated styloid processes who presented with vascular ES symptoms. A literature review is also included. Eagle Sendromu (ES) veya Stilohyoid Sendromu, stiloid prosesin 30 mm'den fazla uzaması ve stilohyoid-stilomandibular ligamentin mineralizasyonu olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Literatürde iki ES formu tanımlanmaktadır. Bunlar klasik tip stilohyoid sendrom ve vasküler tip stilokarotid sendromudur. ES sıklıkla kadınlarda ve bilateral olarak görülürken, belirtiler genellikle tek taraflıdır. Bu olguda bilateral olarak uzamış stiloid prosesi olan ve Eagle tipi sendromun vasküler tipini destekleyen semptomlarla başvuran 45 yaşında bir kadın hasta ele alınmış ve ilgili literatür sunulmuştur.Keywords : Styloid process, calcification, carotid artery, Eagle’s syndrome, panoramic image
