Axial CT angiogram in a patient with the "Eagle jugular syndrome"

A patient with the "Eagle jugular syndrome" (also known as "internal jugular vein nutcracker syndrome") presented with a 2-year history of pain in the right side of the face, soft tissue swelling (especially in the morning), and nuchal and orbital headache resistant to drug treatment. CT angiography showed right internal jugular vein compression due to an elongated styloid process coursing adjacent to the transverse process of C1.
