Eagle syndrome (also termed stylohyoid syndrome, [1] styloid syndrome, [2] stylalgia, [3] styloid-stylohyoid syndrome, [2] or styloid–carotid artery syndrome) [4] is an uncommon condition commonly characterized but not limited to sudden, sharp nerve-like pain in the jaw bone and joint, back of the throat, and base of the tongue, triggered by swallowing, moving the jaw, or turning the neck. [1]
Common symptoms of an osteoid osteoma are: [3] dull or sharp pain that worsens at night; pain that is usually relieved by aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs; limping; painful scoliosis and muscle spasticity (when the tumor is located in the spine) growth disturbance (when the tumor is involved with a bone's growth plate) muscle wasting ...
Symptoms can also worsen while the patient is walking or during periods of increased stress. Other symptoms include muscle hypertrophy, neck pain, dysarthria and tremor. [2] Studies have shown that over 75% of patients report neck pain, [1] and 33% to 40% experience tremor of the head. [3]
Neck pain causes can be anything from sleeping in an uncomfortable position to serious neurological concerns. Experts explain causes, diagnosis, and treatments.
Cervicocranial syndrome may be caused by Chiari disease, Klippel-Feil malformation, [3] osteoarthritis, and physical trauma. [4] Treatment options include neck braces, pain medication and surgery. The quality of life for individuals suffering from Cervicocranial syndrome can improve through surgery. [5] Cervical Vertebrae (C1 - C7)
Osteosclerosis is a disorder characterized by abnormal hardening of bone and an elevation in bone density. It may predominantly affect the medullary portion and/or cortex of bone.
Osteitis fibrosa cystica (/ ˌ ɒ s t i ˈ aɪ t ɪ s f aɪ ˈ b r oʊ s ə ˈ s ɪ s t ɪ k ə / OSS-tee-EYE-tis fy-BROH-sə SIS-tik-ə) is a skeletal disorder resulting in a loss of bone mass, a weakening of the bones as their calcified supporting structures are replaced with fibrous tissue (peritrabecular fibrosis), and the formation of cyst-like brown tumors in and around the bone.
In histology, osteoid is the unmineralized, organic portion of the bone matrix that forms prior to the maturation of bone tissue. [1] Osteoblasts begin the process of forming bone tissue by secreting the osteoid as several specific proteins. The osteoid and its adjacent bone cells have developed into new bone tissue when it becomes mineralized.
