Abstract
Eagle’s syndrome is characterized by craniofacial or cervical pain due to an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament. We report a case of Eagle’s syndrome with stylohyoid ligament ossification, clinically mimicking a fishbone foreign body. The patient was a 61-year-old woman who complained of sore throat around her right tonsil after she got a fishbone stuck in her throat. She was diagnosed as having a fishbone foreign body in the right tonsil from CT scan findings and underwent right tonsillectomy in another hospital. However, her sore throat and the linear calcification within the right tonsillar bed on CT scan remained. She was thus diagnosed as having Eagle’s syndrome with 3D-CT in our hospital.
