Imaging at the emergency department (magnetic resonance of the brain and computerized angiography) showed the presence of elongated styloid process bilaterally with clear predomination at the left side. The brain ischemia (left temporal brain infarct) was due to carotid artery dissection, and the left internal carotid artery was not visualized during the contrast-enhanced angiography. The patient was hospitalized at a neurological facility and thereafter referred to surgery for styloidectomy.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion: <\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The present case underscores the need for a prompt diagnosis and an enhanced awareness of this syndrome, especially among emergency department professionals.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_362_2021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,7]],"date-time":"2021-06-07T13:33:16Z","timestamp":1623072796000},"page":"257","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Eagle syndrome presenting as a neurological emergency: A case report"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Sokrat","family":"Xhaxho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Mother Theresa University Hospital Center, Tirana, Albania."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gentian","family":"Vyshka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical and Experimental Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine, Tirana, Albania."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jera","family":"Kruja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Medicine, Tirana, Albania."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_362_2021\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e781","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2019.09.359","article-title":"Eagle syndrome and internal carotid artery dissection: Description of 5 cases treated in 2 vascular institutions and review of the literature","volume":"58","author":"Baldino","year":"2019","journal-title":"Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_362_2021\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1408","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radcr.2020.05.052","article-title":"A rare vascular complication of Eagle syndrome highlight by CTA with neck flexion","volume":"15","author":"Brassart","year":"2020","journal-title":"Radiol Case Rep"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_362_2021\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"263","DOI":"10.1007\/s10140-010-0930-7","article-title":"Eagle syndrome presenting with external carotid artery pseudoaneurysm","volume":"18","author":"Dao","year":"2011","journal-title":"Emerg Radiol"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_362_2021\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1661","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2014.05.048","article-title":"Stylocarotid artery syndrome","volume":"60","author":"David","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Vasc Surg"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_362_2021\/ref-5","first-page":"205","article-title":"Anatomia, Patavii","author":"de Marchettis","year":"1652"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_362_2021\/ref-6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"721","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-190711000-00010","article-title":"IX.
