ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ: Το σύνδρομο Eagle είναι η κλινική έκφραση της επιμήκυνσης της βελονοειδούς από-
φυσης ή της ενασβεστίωσης ή οστεοποίησης του βελονοϋοειδούς ή βελονογναθικού συνδέσμου. Ο
Watt Eagle περιέγραψε το σύνδρομο για πρώτη φορά το 1937 και το διαχώρισε σε δύο τύπους: το
κλασσικό σύνδρομο και το σύνδρομο της βελονοειδούς απόφυσης – καρωτίδας αρτηρίας. Αρκετές
θεωρίες προτάθηκαν σχετικά με την αιτιοπαθογένεια του συνδρόμου ενώ η συμπτωματολογία του
ποικίλει ανάλογα με τον υποκείμενο παθογενετικό μηχανισμό και τις ανατομικές δομές που συμπιέ-
ζονται ή ερεθίζονται από τη βελονοειδή απόφυση. Τα συμπτώματα κυμαίνονται από πόνο στην τρα-
χηλοπροσωπική περιοχή μέχρι και παρεγκεφαλιδική ισχαιμία. Η διάγνωση επιβεβαιώνεται με τα ακτι-
νογραφικά ευρήματα. Η θεραπεία είναι πρωταρχικά χειρουργική, αλλά έχουν επίσης χρησιμοποιη-
θεί και κάποιοι τύποι συντηρητικής θεραπείας. Η τρέχουσα βιβλιογραφία σχετικά με το σύνδρομο
ανασκοπείται και τονίζεται η συχνότητα και η κλινική του σημασία.
