Eagle Syndrome

Posted by Jackie, Alumna Mentor @travelgirl, Apr 25, 2018

My son was diagnosed with Eagle Syndrome. It took years of him complaining to Dentists and Doctors before it was diagnosed. Finally a Dr referred him too the Cleveland Clinic. They were able to diagnose it, but didn't have a Dr on staff that could offer any advice. Being that Eagle syndrome is so rare less than 4% percent have this condition and of that 0.16% show symptoms.
We found a couple of Dr's who have treated the condition. But they claim the surgery is horrible they found it creates more issues. That to hold off as long as a person can.
It is very painful at times for my son. He said right now, he can feel the Styloid pressing on his Hyloid bone.
Does Mayo Clinic have any studies or Dr's that deal with Eagles Syndrome?

Mine is calcified and not elongated. I would look for a otarlongist. My doctor is David Ludlow out of Metro in Cleveland Ohio.

I am going to see someone at Cleveland Clinic in neurotology. I am hoping they will just order the tests and not touch my face too much as I need to drive home. Is Dr. Ludlow good? Does he do styloidectomy surgery to resolve problem?
