Presentation
Incidental finding on trauma cervical spine x-rays. It would be nice to say that the patient had glossopharyngeal pain, unfortunately for us (fortunately for the patient) this was not the case.

The stylohyoid ligament bilaterally is ossified, extending the styloid process almost down to the hyoid bone.
Case Discussion
In the absence of symptoms referable to an elongated sytloid process / ossified stylohyoid ligament it is not appropriate to label these patients as having Eagle syndrome, no matter how strong the urge.
