Abstract
Ossifying stylohyoid ligament can be accidentally found in panoramic images. This status is occasionally asymptomatic. However, it is called the Eagle’s syndrome in the presence of symptoms such as pain in the pharynx, a foreign body sensation, tinnitus, or otalgia. The other symptoms may be reported due to the pressure on the carotid artery including migraines, aphasia, or vertigo and syncope, especially in turning head to the suffering side. The presented case was a thirty-nine-year-old man by a thick ossified stylohyoid ligament in both sides, along with five pseudoarticles and a record of the head and neckache, especially in cold weather.
