Abstract	Introduction: Eagle's syndrome and stylo-transverse clamp are rare causes of cervical vascular compression. Clinical observation: A 58-year-old patient presented with chronic bilateral neck pain for several months. CT scan showed vascular compression related to the association of Eagle's syndrome and stylo-transverse clamp. Discussion: Eagle's syndrome refers to symptomatic elongation of the styloid process. It may also be secondary to calcification of the stylohyoid ligament. Its frequency in the general population is estimated at 4%, but only 4% of its ossifications are symptomatic. Stylo-transverse clamp is a still poorly understood entity, responsible for cervical vascular compression that can sometimes be complicated by venous thrombosis. Their pathogenesis is still poorly elucidated, but genetic origin with inter-individual variations is accepted. Conclusion: The stylo-transverse clamp is still poorly understood and little described in the literature, and its association with Eagle's syndrome is exceptional.
Keywords	Eagle's syndrome, styloid elongation, stylo-transverse clamp, neck pain.
