Abstract

Aim: The aim of this case report is to report an association of Eagle’s Syndrome and Crohn’s disease. Case Presentation: We present a rare case of a 30-year old woman with a decade-long history of Crohn’s disease, recently diagnosed with Eagle Syndrome following complaints of facial pain exacerbated by cold exposure. Discussion: Eagle Syndrome is a rare clinical condition caused by an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament. It often presents with vague head and neck symptoms such as throat pain, dysphagia, craniofacial discomfort leading to frequently delayed or misdiagnosis. It can be unilateral or bilateral. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of considering rare differential diagnosis in patients with complex autoimmune or inflammatory conditions, particularly when symptoms deviate from GIT manifestations.
