I got a ct veno gram of my neck , and I can se ethers little divots … I’m pretty sure I’m looking at my jugulars in these but not sure . But are those divots normal? Or are those classic eagles signs ? ![IMG_0110](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/ben_eagle/original/2X/7/72020c2072c1b4cbdef6cb3006d5f4fb7808f509.jpeg) ![IMG_0179](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/ben_eagle/original/2X/c/ca650ee07717d1a8befd6e906c9ceba8d974ef50.jpeg) ![IMG_0178](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/ben_eagle/original/2X/d/df4122c40444015ce4007a472e1d7ae36bc32381.jpeg) ---

Your styloids look pretty impressive, looks like there’s some calcification of the stylo-hyoid ligaments as well… Obviously we’re not doctors on here, but I would say the kinks/ divots are something on the imaging being faulty… ---

Do you think that length of styloids could cause symptoms like I have . 24/7 off balance , lightheaded , brain fog . Heart palps . Head pressure ---

Yes, I’ve replied on one of your other posts… ---

@Isaiah_40_31 replied to your other post: > [@I need awnsers](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/i-need-awnsers/19356/2): > > Welcome to our forum! It definitely sounds like you have vascular compression of some sort. Your stroke-like symptoms would be more related to the internal carotid artery, but the head pressure, off balance feeling & brain fog more relate to internal jugular vein. It is rare, but we’ve had members w/ both. And I said: [quote=“Jules, post:8, topic:19356”] I saw your images on your other post & they’re definitely longer than average & it looks like the stylo-hyoid ligament is calcified too… I agree with @Isaiah_40_31 that it does sound as if your symptoms could be vascular, IJV & possibly ICA. The styloids can also affect the vagus nerve which can affect breathing, heart rate etc. Often the IJV is compressed between the styloid & the C1, the right side image you’ve posted looks as if there’s a fair gap, but there can be compression too from muscles, occasionally other blood vessels & nerves…It also looks on this image (the 3rd one) as if your neck is pretty straight & has lost it’s natural curve (military neck), which can often increase vascular symptoms from poor posture. There’s info & exercises which might help in this section: [List of my favourite resources on YouTube to learn anatomy - General - Living with Eagle](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/list-of-my-favourite-resources-on-youtube-to-learn-anatomy/10249) [/quote] ---

Styloid length, angle of growth, thickness, how pointed, twisted or curved they are can all play into the symptoms they cause when elongated. Each of us has a slightly different layout for the nerves & blood vessels in our necks so that’s part of why our symptoms vary from each other when ES is diagnosed also taking into account the variation in shapes & lengths of the styloids which also plays a role. Your symptoms point to some type of vascular compression which your styloids could be contributing to.
