Has anyone had a case, or know of one, of Eagle Syndrome bone or calcified ligament pushing the hyoid bone out of place, actually vertical instead of horizontal. It's also affected my thyroid cartilage is affected and they are intruding on my larynx. The intrusion or lump is in my trachea area, covering half of my vocal cords and it has made my airway smaller, and it's difficult to swallow. I have seen a specialist but was hoping for more answers or to hear of another case like mine
Thanks

Hi @cjohansen, I second Teresa's welcome and just wanted to make you aware that I did move your post to a discussion about Eagles Syndrome so that you could connect with other people going through similar situations.
I am sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble swallowing. I would be interested to know your answers to Teresa's questions as well.

Hello @cjohansen and welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm glad that you found our online patient network. You may wish to join Connect members talking about Eagle's Syndrome here:

How long ago was this problem diagnosed? As you say, this problem is affecting your vocal cords, I'm wondering if you have both speech and swallowing problems?
