Suggest Treatment For Eagle Syndrome

My daughter was just diagnosed with Eagle Syndrome. She is just 25. Will this effect her whole body over time? It is in her gland on her throat. Does this calcium build up go through out her body? How should she treat this? Dr said alot of ibeprofin.......can this syndrome be stopped or will it be her lifelong struggle? Thank You

General Surgeon 's  Response
Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*In Eagle syndrome it`s not that calcium build up go through out her body.
*There is sudden sharp nerve like pain in jaw bone, back of throat, base of
tongue, triggered by swallowing, moving jaw or turning neck
*This syndrome can not be stopped by medicines, ibuprofen gives pain relief.
*In both Vascular and Classic form the treatment is Surgical.
Partial styloidectomy is preferred approach.
Repair of damaged carotid artery in cases to prevent further neurological
complications.
But regrowth of stylohyoid process & relapse are common occurrence.
Hope this clears your doubts.
