What Is Eagle Syndrome?
1. Eagle Syndrome
The stylohyoid process is a small bone that is located just below the ear, and the hyoid bone is located in the front of the neck. The stylohyoid ligament is a ligament that connects the two. These body parts come together to form the stylohyoid apparatus.
The stylohyoid process is a small, pointy bone that projects forward from the skull. It helps to serve as an anchor point on for a number of facial muscles, including some associated with the larynx and the tongue. Abnormalities with these body parts will sometimes cause eagle syndrome, which causes pain in the face and neck.
