Abstract
Eagle Syndrome is considered as a nosological entity described by W.W. Eagle in 1937. It is defined as the elongation of the styloid apophysis or the calcification of the styloid ligament. Even if said syndrome is quite rare among the patients, professionals must keep it in mind when facing cases of pain in the maxillofacial area that has no clear etiology. This present work reports the case of a 58 year old female patient whose concern was pain in the maxillofacial area. We consider this case interesting due to the fact that it exposes a bilateral Eagle syndrome, an even more uncommon presentation of this disease.
