Eagle’s syndrome is characterized by

morphological abnormalities of the styloid process or calcifications

of the stylohyoid ligament, leading to irritation of the

glossopharyngeal nerve. This paper presents the case of a 61-year-old

patient with episodic, severe throat pain radiating to the ear. After

a lack of improvement with pharmacological treatment and

confirmation of an elongated styloid process measuring 36 mm based on

computed tomography, the patient was qualified for surgical

intervention. Bilateral tonsillectomy and styloidectomy were

performed, resulting in complete resolution of symptoms. During

postoperative follow-ups, the patient reported no discomfort or need

for further medication. Analyzing this case, it can be concluded that

effective treatment of Eagle’s syndrome often requires a tailored

therapeutic approach and consideration of surgical treatment options.

Computed tomography plays a crucial role in assessing the length

of the styloid process and in planning therapeutic interventions.
