This is an AI generated image of Eagle syndrome, caused by elongated styloid process and/or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. This is thought to affect 1 in 1000 people.
The styloid process is a slender bony projection from the temporal bone. When elongated, this has the potential to cause symptoms due to compression of nearby structures including:
> Cranial nerves V, VII, IX, X and XII
> Internal and external carotid arteries
> Internal jugular vein
> Pharyngeal wall and tonsillar fossa
