What is Stylohyoid syndrome commonly known as?
Classical Eagle Syndrome (cES)
Stylohyoid syndrome is characterized by calcification of the stylohyoid chain with nonspecific symptoms.
What is the main symptom associated with Stylohyoid syndrome?
Pain
Pain is the primary complaint in patients with Stylohyoid syndrome.
What innovative surgical technique is introduced for Stylohyoid syndrome?
Minimally invasive cervical styloidectomy (MICS)
MICS is designed for patients diagnosed with classical Eagle Syndrome.
How many patients underwent MICS in the study?
Sixty-five patients
The study focused on patients diagnosed with classical Eagle Syndrome.
What was the overall success rate of the MICS procedure?
97.0%
This success rate was based on a follow-up of a minimum of six months.
What anatomical structure is the core of the styloid apparatus?
Styloid process (SP)
The styloid process is a bony projection from the petrous part of the temporal bone.
What muscles are attached to the styloid apparatus?
- Stylohyoid
- Styloglossus
- Stylopharyngeus
These muscles are integral to the function of the styloid apparatus.
What ligaments are associated with the styloid apparatus?
- Stylohyoid ligament
- Stylomandibular ligament
These ligaments contribute to the anatomical structure of the styloid apparatus.
What symptoms may arise from calcification of the stylohyoid ligament or elongation of the styloid processes?
- Unilateral neck pain
- Orofacial pain (stylalgia)
- Sensation of a foreign body in the throat
- Difficulty swallowing solid foods
- Auditory symptoms (tinnitus)
These symptoms are typically reported by patients with Eagle Syndrome.
What are less frequent symptoms associated with Eagle Syndrome?
- Visual dysfunction
- Dysgeusia
- Hypersalivation
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Syncope
- Breathing issues
These symptoms require careful evaluation to avoid misdiagnosis.
What anatomical structures are primarily affected by symptoms of Eagle Syndrome?
- Nerves (IX, X, sympathetic trunk)
- Blood vessels (internal jugular vein, carotid artery)
- Adjacent soft tissues
These structures are located within the parapharyngeal space.
True or False: The presence of calcification in the stylomandibular ligament is clinically supported.
False
There is no evidence supporting clinical findings of calcification in the stylomandibular ligament.
What is a potential risk during the diagnostic process for Eagle Syndrome?
Misdiagnosis
Symptoms of Eagle Syndrome can overlap with those of burning mouth syndrome and temporomandibular joint disorders.
