Eagle syndrome (ES) is now defined as both an elongation of the styloid process (SP) and ossification of the stylohyoid ligament (SHL). Because subjective symptomatology is varied or can be absent, imaging is the best approach to diagnosis.

Review Case Reports
Treatment of Parotid Sialocele after Sustaining a Facial Injury. Case Report and Literature Review.
We are presenting the case of a patient who developed a parotid sialocele after sustaining a facial injury. The patient was treated by creating a controlled intraoral fistula that drained saliva into the oral cavity and led to resolution of the sialocele. ⋯ The articles reported successful management of parotid sialocele and fistula using both nonsurgical and surgical methods. Treatment depends upon the location of the injury (ductal injury vs. parenchymal injury) and the time of treatment (delayed vs. immediate).
