Abstract
An unusual case of a patient with bilateral carotid artery dissection caused by compression from elongated styloid processes is presented. The diagnosis was overlooked 8 years earlier. Eagle 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 internal carotid artery dissections.
