Eagle syndrome, ocular, retinal pigment, styloid ligamentAbstract
Retinal pigment epithelial detachment (PED) is the separation of the retinal pigment epithelium(RPE) from the Bruch’s membrane(BM). Eagle syndrome(ES) is characterized by an abnormally elongated styloid process with/without abnormal direction and/or ossification of the styloid ligament. Presence of both the above entities together is a rarest of rare sight. It may be a coincidence, or the diseases may have an association. Hence, further studies are warranted.
