I, too, had symptoms long before anyone could diagnose them. Then finally in front of third ENT - and he orders CT scan - telling me that he doubts it will be it. He called me back with results and tells me that I have the longest styloid he has ever seen. Surgery on right side. Went in through the mouth, so no facial scarring at all. However, I do now have a scar in the back of my throat that sometimes feels funny. Mucus seems to surround it and I have to clear my throat a lot. Now my left side is getting bad. Lots of pain and the tinnitus is a bit overwhelming at times. I'm just here looking to see if any Minnesota doctor has taken on this specialty at all.

@sarajosie. That's great concerning the first surgery. Symptoms Don't sound too bad for having a successful Eagle S. Op though. I was curious if you wouldn't mind sharing the name and location of the surgeon that operated? I am sorry to hear about your new symptoms on the opposite side but hopefully they may have been caused bye some type of trauma or strain that you didn't realize at the time and hopefully, Lord willing they will go away and you can avoid another painful operation. I know there are many types of Eagle S and that may not even be relevant for you. Sorry, I guess just wishful thinking.... I do thank you for your reply as it does give me a great deal of Hope! I was at first skeptical of the oral surgery having read that it requires an initial tonsillectomy beforehand and also causes decreased accurate visibility for the surgeon to operate safely during an already dangerous procedure. Thank you again and know that your story does give me hope! I will pray for you and the peace you deserve!
P.s. again please share the name and Dr. That Operated on you if you feel comfortable doing so. May God Bless You!
