# Carotid‐Type Eagle Syndrome: Successful Management With Transcervical Styloidectomy: A Case Report

## TL;DR

A case report shows that transcervical styloidectomy effectively treats carotid-type Eagle syndrome, resolving symptoms like presyncope.

## Contribution

The report highlights transcervical styloidectomy as a successful and safe treatment for carotid-type Eagle syndrome.

## Key findings

- Transcervical styloidectomy allows excellent vascular exposure and safe dissection.
- The procedure effectively resolves symptoms of carotid-type Eagle syndrome.
- High-resolution CT is crucial for identifying elongated styloid processes.

## Abstract

Carotid‐type Eagle syndrome should be considered in patients with unexplained presyncope, particularly when symptoms are position‐dependent. High‐resolution CT is essential for identifying elongated styloid processes and their relationship to the carotid space. Transcervical styloidectomy provides excellent vascular exposure, enabling safe dissection, complete resection, and effective symptom resolution while minimizing neurovascular complications.
