Abstract Introduction:
Eagle's syndrome and stylo-transverse clamp are rare causes of cervical vascular compression.

Clinical observation:
A 58-year-old patient presented with chronic bilateral neck pain for several months. CT scan showed vascular compression related to the association of Eagle's syndrome and stylo-transverse clamp.

Discussion:
Eagle's syndrome refers to symptomatic elongation of the styloid process. It may also be secondary to calcification of the stylohyoid ligament.
Its frequency in the general population is estimated at 4%, but only 4% of its ossifications are symptomatic.
Stylo-transverse clamp is a still poorly understood entity, responsible for cervical vascular compression that can sometimes be complicated by venous thrombosis.
Their pathogenesis is still poorly elucidated, but genetic origin with inter-individual variations is accepted.

Conclusion:
The stylo-transverse clamp is still poorly understood and little described in the literature, and its association with Eagle's syndrome is exceptional.
Keywords Eagle's syndrome, styloid elongation, stylo-transverse clamp, neck pain.
