Abstract

Eagle jugular syndrome is an uncommon condition caused by compression of an elongated styloid process onto the internal jugular vein. Its presentation is non-specific but may represent in severe clinical consequences including venous thrombosis and intracranial haemorrhage. Thorough understanding of local anatomy is important in understanding the pathogenesis and establishing the diagnosis. Our case reported here illustrates the use of multimodality imaging, including dynamic Computer tomography manoeuvre, in identifying the site of obstruction and guidance towards successful surgical treatment.
