AB  - Introduction: Eagle’s syndrome is a rare condition caused by elongation of the styloid process or
calcification of the styloid ligament. It typically presents with non specific cervical pain, which can
be disabling. Case report: We report a case of 73-year-old patient with marked bilateral elongation of
styloid process (63mm on the right, 68mm on the left) associated with right-sided symptoms. Cervical
CT confirmed the diagnosis and also revealed degenerative cervical spine changes. Results: The
patient underwent surgical treatment via transoral approach. Postoperative follow-up showed complete
resolution of symptoms. Conclusion: Although rare and frequently underdiagnosed, Eagle syndrome
should be considered in cases of persistent cervical pain. CT Imaging plays a key role in diagnosis.
Surgical treatment often provides significant and lasting symptom relief.
