Abstract
Eagle's syndrome is a little known entity defined as the elongation of the stylohyoid process and/or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. It is a rare pathology that due to its presentation and possible complications should be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of oropharyngeal dysphagia. We present the case of a patient with Eagle's syndrome as well as essential aspects in the diagnosis and treatment of this entity.
