ABSTRACT

Eagle syndrome is a commonly misdiagnosed condition caused primarily by its variety of signs and symptoms. Recent studies relate Eagle syndrome to some types of craniofacial pain that can be confused with other diseases and cause cerebrovascular accidents due to carotid artery dissection if this condition is considered a dynamic/positional pathology. It is important to have a multidisciplinary approach to Eagle syndrome that allows us to understand its pathophysiology, main clinical patterns, diagnostic methods, and treatments. This work aims to carry out an exhaustive review of the pathophysiology, clinical patterns, available diagnostic tools, treatments, and the presentation of an example clinical case to guide clinicians through this still underestimated condition.
