The classic one, mainly characterized by pain and dysphagia, and the carotid variant characterized by pain and sometimes by cerebral ischemia.

The jugular variant of the Eagle syndrome is clinically delineated by significant differences, as compared to the classic variant and carotid variants. Headache was the more prominent symptom (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.009) as well as a documented peri-mesencephalic hemorrhage was the more significant comorbidity (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.0003).
