Hello, thanks a lot for the warm welcome via email. Symptoms : Since 3 years I am facing heavy dizziness on daily base, my whole life feels like in clouds.
Brain fog, vertigo and many more symptoms developed over the time. TMJ and Neck problems also increased. Since day one I describe the feeling like not enough blood getting into my brain, like not really being present. Diagnoses : I saw a lot of doctors without getting a result and by accident I stumbled over the eagle syndrome as part of my own research.
Both sides about 4cm, but especially the left styloid was very near to the TP of C1 mm. Surgery : So 1st of March this year I was finally scheduled in Bonn, Germany to get my left styloid removed, everything went smooth, also I was told the IJV is now free. Unfortunately the symptoms did not improve till now, so I decided to go for another CT including contrasts to show the vessels. The left IJV is still compressed to 2,5mm.
My problem is that the surgeon I went to is in fatherhood for the next 2 months, and nobody else is willing to give me any feedback. Pictures : I am somehow not able to add media attachments, will add them when I figured it out how. Pictures: Left side removed styloid : 1.
Right side: 2. Others: 4. The muscles involved in compression would most likely be the SCM, but I recall there are others in the area that can also be a problem. Many doctors assert that the human body only needs one working IJV to function well. The extra veins you see are most likely collateral veins that have developed on the left to help drain the de-oxygentated blood from your brain as your carotid arteries pump oxygenated blood in.
