Abstract

Eagle’s syndrome or stylalgia is a disorder related to the abnormally elongated styloid process (>30 m). It is characterized by pharyngeal pain localized in the tonsillar fossa, radiating to the oesophagus, tothehyoid bone, painful head rotation and lingual movements. The pain is exacerbated by swallowing and chewing. Other symptoms include foreign body sensation (globus hystericus) and voice change lasting for only a few minutes. A variety of additional symptoms have been reported such as clicking jaw, unilateral pain, pain radiating to the neck, to the tongue, chest or temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) and facial paraesthesia, hypersalivation, sometimes visual problems, dysphagia and pharyngeal spasm. However no psychiatric co-morbidity has been reported till date. We hereby discuss a case of a middle aged male presenting to psychiatry OPD with symptoms suggestive of Eagle’s Syndrome and unspecified anxiety disorder.
