ABSTRACT:
Eagle Syndrome is an underestimated syndrome with broad and often unspecific signs and symptoms. Both the neuropathic and vascular patterns need a thorough investigation in terms of all their clinical and radiological aspects. A positional/dynamic study is mandatory in the case of suspicion of Eagle Syndrome due to the strong influence of head and neck positions. This work aims to propose a new virtual technique able to predict conflicts between the styloid process and neck vascular structures.
KEY WORDS: Eagle Syndrome; 3D model; artificial intelligence; virtual imaging; CTA; simulation
