Hi everyone! A few days ago I wrote a post here saying that I would do the surgical evaluation of tonsil removal, because that's what my previous doctor identified. And, I had this surgical evaluation a few days ago, well... The doctor checked my throat initially to see the tonsils, and at first he said that there is a greater prominence of one than the other, but he also said that it is not a large prominence, and that is not something that would bother me, I explained in more detail about the click and he thought it was better to do a nasofibrolaryngoscopy, and at the same time I did. the doctor was very attentive and even asked me to press on the pain/click area, and so I did. Nothing was identified on the inside of the larynx, after all, the click is on the outside. as nothing was identified in the internal area of the larynx, the doctor suspected an Eagle's Syndrome and referred me for a tomography of the styloid process. Honestly, I'm a little apprehensive this time, as it's the second CT scan I've had in less than three months. although today, tomography machines are more modern and emit less radiation, it is still necessary to be irradiated, I believe that this makes anyone, especially younger people, apprehensive, and I honestly don't believe it's Eagle Syndrome, after all, I don't have jaw pain... The only thing I notice when the click happens is a prominence of a thyroid cartilage plate, which appears to be larger than the other side. Unfortunately, the neck tomography I did earlier did not identify this prominence. . Anyway, the text was quite long, but I would like to ask you for some advice here, do you think I should do another CT scan even though I suspect it is not Eagle Syndrome?
