Abstract

A patient presents with unilateral, right-sided dysphagia and generalized facial symptoms following past surgical history of tonsillectomy that is consistent with an underdiagnosis of Eagle Syndrome. The elongation of the styloid process likely impinged on the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves resulting in symptoms. Given the lack of recognition of the disease, this case report describes the presentation of Eagle Syndrome to encourage physicians to consider this disease as part of a broader differential diagnosis.
