A member asked:

I have elongated styloid process but no real pain (ct showed), just lots of difficulty swallowing- could it still be eagle syndrome?

First of all: Eagle Syndrome is RARE! Secondly PAIN is the most important part of the syndrome..... The styloid elongation alone is just an "incidental" finding! Hope this is helpful Dr Z
