Historical Perspective
摘要
This paper explores the historical development of Eagle syndrome, a condition named after Dr. Watt W. Eagle who played a key role in its definition. The narrative follows a chronological path, starting with the first anatomical description of the stylohyoid ligament in 1652 by Domenico Marchetti. It then delves into the gap of centuries before the first clinical descriptions and surgical treatments documented in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
