Eagle s syndrome is the term given to symptomatic elongation of the styloid process or mineralization of the stylohyoid or stylomandibular ligament. Although ossification of stylohyoid ligament was first described in the 1600 s, the syndrome is named for Eagle. Symptoms include the sensation of a foreign body, pain referred to the ear, dysphonia dysphagia, sore throat, require differential diagnosis such as unerupted thired molar, TMJ disorder, migraine, headache, atypical trigeminal neuralgia, otalgia, etc. Now, we present three cases of Eagle s syndrome treated by surgical resection of styloid process with good results.
