    AbstractThe clinical image illustrates an unusual case of a patient with bilateral carotid artery dissection caused by compression from elongated styloid processes. In this case, the diagnosis was overlooked eight years earlier. Eagle's syndrome, marked by an elongated styloid process, can result in cervical artery dissection, highlighting the significance of recognizing this correlation in recurrent cases, which occur more frequently than idiopathic ICA dissections.Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).
