Abstract

Eagle syndrome is characterized by the presence of an abnormally elongated styloid process and has been related to different etiologies, including enthesitis, a known feature of spondyloarthropathies. We are describing a case of marked elongation of the styloid process in a patient with pre-existing ankylosing spondylitis and associated enthesopathy.

Keywords: ankylotic; dysphagia; eagle; spondylitis; styloid.
