摘要

Eagle症候群是一種少見的疾病，好發在三十至五十歲的成無人。主要是莖突過長或莖狀舌韌帶之骨化引起的症狀。表現可以從輕微不適到急性神經症狀。臨床上是以扁桃腺窩觸摸到骨質硬塊並引發疼痛來診斷。藉由側位X光片或Panorex片來確診。電腦斷層及三度空間影像重組可以提供外科醫師更多的資訊。我們報告兩例以三度空間電腦斷層做評估的Eagle症候群。

Eagle's syndrome is a rare disease which usually occurs in adult patients aged 30 to 50 years. It is characterized by the symptomatic elongation of the styloid process or mineralization of the stylohyoid ligament complex. The symptoms ranges from mild discomfort to acute neurologic and referred pain. Clinical diagnosis is based on palpating the tonsillary fossa, which should reveal a bony formation and exacerbate pain. Confirmations can be made by a lateral x-ray film or panorex radiograph. CT and 3-D reformatted technique provided more information for surgeons. We reported two cases of Eagle's syndrome and evaluated by 3-D reformatted CT.
