Eagle syndrome is a set of cervical symptoms resulting from the elongation of the stylohyoid ligament and its subsequent ossification. It is a poorly known syndrome among clinicians. It manifests through cervico-pharyngeal symptoms caused by irritation of anatomical structures in contact with this process. Due to the variability of the symptomatology, this syndrome is often diagnosed late, resulting in therapeutic wandering for patients and a delay in appropriate management. Therapeutic management is surgical, with the indication depending on the extent of associated symptoms. We report a case of bilateral Eagle syndrome, more pronounced on the right side, discovered in a 59-year-old patient with no particular pathological history. He underwent surgical treatment via the laterocervical approach under general anesthesia. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient reported a clear improvement in initial symptoms. Through this case report and a literature review, we aim to clarify the clinical, radiological, and therapeutic particularities of Eagle syndrome.
