Tonsillectomy is a very common procedure in Otolaryngology practice. Common complications include
bleeding, which can be primary or secondary due to infection of the tonsillar bed. Subcutaneous emphysema
after a tonsillectomy is very rare. We report a 19-year-old girl who developed cervicofacial subcutaneous
emphysema several hours after tonsillectomy with successful conservative treatment outcome.
Eagle's syndrome represents a symptomatic styloid process elongation or calcification of stylohyoid or stylomandibular ligament. The symptoms include the throat pain radiating to ipsilateral ear or foreign body sensation in the pharynx causing odynophagia and dysphagia. It is commonly unilateral and bilateral cases are rare. We report a case of bilateral elongation of styloid processes treated surgically by transoral approach.
