Abstract：
Eagle\'s syndrome is rare condition described in 1937 by W. Eagle, and is secondary to the elongation of the styloid process and/or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. Although it occurs asymptomatically in the majority of cases, the pressure exerted by this alternative structure from an anatomical point of view against the neighbouring areas can trigger a great variety of symptoms. It is often wrongly diagnosed, leading to multiple interconsultations with different professionals. This means that the professional must take it into account in those cases of pain in the maxillofacial region without any clear aetiology. The case is presented of a 63year-old patient in whom the only symptom was an invalidating occipital neuralgia, with visits to numerous physicians. A 3-dimension cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) confirmed the clinical suspicion. The treatment consisted of partial resection of both styloid processes.
