Abstract

Purpose of review: Eagle syndrome is a challenging clinical presentation with important potential complications. It can be misdiagnosed due to lack of awareness; this review provides information in terms of diagnosis and management of eagle syndrome.

Recent findings: The importance of early diagnosis of this rare disease is preventing the delay in clinical-surgical treatment. As there is not a universally accepted cut-off for styloid process length, the diagnosis should be confirmed by length of process greater than one-third of the length of mandibular ramus in addition to other clinical symptoms and signs. There are both surgical and pharmacological treatment options for these patients.

Summary: Eagle syndrome is a rare clinical condition and its diagnosis is made by physical examination and radiography. When it is suspected by physical examination, definitive diagnosis is confirmed by computed tomography scans of the skull, as the gold standard. Location, degree of elongation of styloid process, and severity and reproducibility of symptoms are important factors in deciding the most appropriate approach. Surgery is frequently the treatment of choice in Eagle syndrome patients. With proper diagnosis and treatment, the prognosis is favourable and recurrence is uncommon.

鹰综合症的管理。

综述目的:Eagle综合征是一种具有挑战性的临床表现，具有重要的潜在并发症。它可能因缺乏认识而被误诊;本文综述了鹰状综合征的诊断和治疗方面的信息。最新发现:早期诊断这种罕见疾病的重要性在于防止延迟临床手术治疗。茎突长度没有一个公认的临界值，除临床症状和体征外，茎突长度大于下颌支长度的三分之一是诊断的依据。对于这些患者有手术和药物治疗两种选择。摘要:鹰综合征是一种罕见的临床疾病，其诊断主要通过体格检查和影像学检查。当身体检查有怀疑时，明确的诊断是通过计算机断层扫描头骨确认，作为金标准。茎突的位置、伸长程度、症状的严重程度和再现性是决定最合适入路的重要因素。手术通常是鹰氏综合征患者的治疗选择。适当的诊断和治疗，预后良好，复发罕见。
