Role of three-dimensional multidetector computerized tomography in diagnosis of Eagle’s syndrome

AbstractObjectiveTo confirm the diagnosis of Eagle’s syndrome by three-dimensional MDCT among patients with clinical suspicion of the disease.Materials and methodsNon-contrast MDCT neck scans of 18 patients of clinical prediagnosis of Eagle’s syndrome and 6 control subjects over 9months period were reviewed for styloid process lengths and medial angulations using conventional and three-dimensional images.ResultsOur study included 18 patients and 6 controls. The means of styloid process lengths and medial angulations were 2.6° and 69.4°, 2.2cm and 73° respectively. Statistical significance was found (P
