Struggling with unexplained throat or neck pain? It could be Eagle syndrome!
Eagle Syndrome: Pain Relief Through Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Blocks
Learn how ultrasound-guided nerve blocks are helping patients find lasting relief without surgery.
Eagle syndrome is a rare form of glossopharyngeal neuralgia that can severely impact quality of life. Most often seen in older adults, particularly women, it results from an elongated styloid process or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. This abnormal anatomy can irritate nearby cranial nerves, causing sharp, burning, or electric shock-like pain in the throat, neck, or face. Symptoms can also include headaches, a sensation of a foreign body in the throat, dysphagia, and pain triggered by swallowing or coughing.
