Thanks so much Jules, my CTV/MRA/MRV report by the radiologist doesnā€™t report that there is any compression by my Styloid AKA Vascular ES.Neurosurgeons and Vascular surgeons Iā€™ve seen do not agree with the diagnosis. In addition none of the ENTā€™s on this forum willing to operate can seem to tell me whether my styloid is elongated or calcified and whether they are going to remove the Stylohyoid Ligament or remove the Styloid bone as these are in fact 2 different anatomical structures. What were your symptoms before surgery? Weā€™re they relieve before surgery? The first person to even mention my styloid was a doctor in Florida named Ross Hauser who specializes in Prolotherapy. Iā€™m so desperate and have so many symptoms and my quality of life has been reduced to almost nothing. Thank you for being here for us.šŸ™šŸ¼ ---

Daniel - I also went to see Dr. Hauser after a long period of miserable symptoms and seeing my life crumble in front of me. I do have cervical instability, but he also found my major issues with the styloids & I just had my surgery 10 days ago. I did have a FaceTime consult with Dr. Osborne in LA, and he seemed to be VERY good and quite knowledgeable. I ended up pursuing a different option because he does not take insurance (which means full price for surgery, anesthesia, plus travel & lodging) & traveling to LA from the east coast while not being able to fly was prohibitive. I ended up having my surgery done by Dr. Hackman at UNC. Overall it was a good experience - having some post-op issues but so far they all seem like they will subside in time & the doctor was pleased with by 8-day follow up appointment. I would suggest reaching out to Dr. Osborne to set up a consult & see if you like that option - he was very honest and is world renowned, which is encouraging, though there are some. There is a list of US doctors familiar with ES on this forum, and there are a lot of people willing to answer questions. Best of luck! ---

Difficult if you canā€™t get an agreement on your diagnosisā€¦Yes, the styloid & ligament are two different structures, but if the ligament calcifies it can merge into one, sometimes you canā€™t know which it is until surgery, & as long as anyone who does surgery will shorten the styloid & remove any calcified ligament then it doesnā€™t matter. I had Intracranial Hypertension symptoms as both my IJV were compressed- dizziness, constant off balance feeling, head & ear pressure, headaches, brain fog, & some very scary weird symptoms which are hard to describeā€¦as well as atypical TN, jaw & ear pain, pain turning head. After surgery the vascular symptoms reduced alot, I still get a bit of the TN pain, but itā€™s less than it was & I donā€™t get the tingling & numbness in my cheek I was getting just before surgery. Itā€™s worked well for me, Iā€™ve been very lucky. ---

When you had face time with Dr. Osborne could he give you medical advice? I had a facetime with Dr. Cognetti out of Philadelphia, PA he could not give me medical advice because I was out of state. ---

@Cara - Weā€™ve had a couple of members whoā€™ve had successful ES surgeries done by Dr. Osborne. His name mostly comes up on here because of his YouTube videos. I donā€™t know how many ES surgeries heā€™s done though. The doctors names that come up most often on our forum are Dr. Cognetti, Dr. Hackman, Dr. Hepworth, Dr. Samji, & recently, Dr. Costantino. Dr. Annino has also helped a significant number of our members. ---

I think a member recently had surgery with Dr. Nathan Hales, 5715 Rogers Rd Suite 128, San Antonio, TX 78251 210-249-4840 [http://www.sanantonioent.com/](http://www.sanantonioent.com/) so might be an option? ---

Where I could find the details of those doctors? I have called several and they donā€™t even take my call. I think because my number is from outside the Us. And the other question is who is the best doctor doing bilateral surgery with vascular descompression? ---

@Aleana - The only surgeon who consistently does bilateral ES surgery is **Dr. Hackman** in North Carolina. I donā€™t think he specifically does vascular decompression but he does cut the styloids back to the skull base which is often all that is necessary to allow the IJVs to re-open. The carotids tend to get compressed further from the skull base so if theyā€™re being compressed by the styloids, they are naturally decompressed when a styloidectomy is done. **Dr. Hepworth** in Colorado is our most experienced vascular ES surgeon. **Dr. Lawton** in Arizona has done a few decompression surgeries but not bilateral, & weā€™ve heard that **Dr. Nakaji** , also in Arizona, will shave a little off the C-1 vertebra to help w/ vascular compression, but I donā€™t know if he does styloidectomies or not. You could also try **Dr. Osborne** in Los Angeles who has a good reputation as a surgeon, but his fees are high, & I donā€™t know if he does bilateral ES surgery or vascular decompression. The link to our Doctors List is below. Doctors are listed by the state they are in. Iā€™m really sorry that offices youā€™ve called arenā€™t answering your call. Make sure youā€™re calling during normal business hours which are usually 9 am-5 pm M-F w/ a 2 hr lunch break from 12-2. Some offices open at 8 am & close at 6 pm. A particular doctorā€™s office hours should be listed on their website or on the voice mail message when you call the office. If an email address is listed on the website, you could also try contacting the offices that way. > [@Doctor Lists -- no discussion](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/doctor-lists-no-discussion/10245): > > US DOCTORS Familiar With Eagle Syndrome 2019.

Dr Hepworthā€™s office are quite slow at replying, I believe he might not be taking on new patients at the moment, but you could ask to be put on his list when he opens it againā€¦ We do have a couple of doctors on our list in Mexico, although I donā€™t know much about them: Dr Carlos Velez Landeros, Av. Alvaro Obregon 1184, Nueva, 21100 Mexicali, B.C., Mexico phone +52 686 552 2272 (speaks Spanish, has done bilateral surgery) ā€¢Dr. Diana Paz Delgadillo, Especialidades Almater, C.

Thanks. I searched about them but they donā€™t have good comments from some patients. They donā€™t talk about eagle syndrome either. Only about other surgeries but they are also dentists!!! I donā€™t understand if it is right for them to do this surgery. ---

Okay, at some point they must have done a successful surgery to have been put on the list, but best to go to someone with experience if you suspect you have vascular ESā€¦for that reason I wouldnā€™t see a dentist for surgery. Iā€™ve not heard of dentists doing this surgery anywhere else! External surgery is the best way, maybe the dentists do intra-oral surgery? ---

Dr. Landeros has done external/transcervical ES surgery for at least two of our members. One had a good outcome, but the other never came back to report about his outcome. Dr. Landeros does bilateral ES surgery, but Iā€™m certain he wouldnā€™t deal with vascular ES. ---

Hi @Aleana, Dr. Samji in San Jose, California, did my surgeries. I had a good outcome. If you have a question as to whether or not you have vascular ES, he does NOT take care of vascular compression unless itā€™s carotid artery which occurs lower down in the neck than the jugular compression. He does remove styloids & stylohyoid ligaments if calcified. He also does video consults so you wouldnā€™t have to travel to see him for an initial consult.
