Given its low prevalence and complex symptomatology, this syndrome is often misdiagnosed, leading to chronic pain and medical nomadism.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 51-year-old woman of African origin with 3-year history of left-side oropharyngeal pain and worsening dysphagia consulted several health professionals. Medical and surgical treatments, including a sinus surgery and the extraction of three healthy teeth, did not improve her symptoms. Evaluation in an orofacial pain clinic revealed an asymmetrically elongated styloid process. Surgical shortening of the elongated styloid process provided complete pain relief and recovery of normal swallowing function.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Based on this case report, the pathophysiology of Eagle\u2019s syndrome is discussed, and the need for specific follow-up in a subpopulation of patients with asymptomatic styloid process elongation is highlighted.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-022-03372-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,12]],"date-time":"2022-05-12T13:04:40Z","timestamp":1652360680000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Chronic oropharyngeal pain and medical nomadism in an Eagle\u2019s syndrome patient: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yves","family":"Boucher","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Agatha","family":"Mularski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rufino","family":"Felizardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric","family":"Tankere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6385-8165","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marc","family":"Dieb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"3372_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"80","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1468-2982.1995.015002080.x","volume":"15","author":"L Montalbetti","year":"1995","unstructured":"Montalbetti L, Ferrandi D, Pergami P, Savoldi F.
