What Is Eagle Syndrome?
10. Treatment
Eagle syndrome is treatable. Depending on the specifics of each case, this treatment will sometimes involve medication. This will often mean painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications that will help to make the patient more comfortable. Steroids, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants may also be prescribed.
Where it is deemed appropriate, surgery may also be performed. Surgery will help to make the styloid process shorter, hopefully helping to relieve the patient of their symptoms. There are different ways this can be performed, and perhaps the most popular procedure is endoscopic surgery. The majority of people with the condition will be treated successfully and will no longer feel any symptoms.
