Is this eagles Syndrome? CT neck.
Right styloid process: Not elongated, measuring about 0.3 cm. Right stylohyoid ligament: Calcified distal portion, which measures about 0.8 cm. This is located about 2.1 cm from the tip of the right styloid process.Left styloid process/stylohyoid ligament: Borderline top normal size of the left stylohyoid ligament, which is in continuation with the elongated left styloid process, measuring about 2.4 cm combined. One cannot differentiate between what is considered the left styloid process and a calcified stylohyoid ligament in this case. In regards to Eagles Syndrome, an elongated styloid process or a calcified stylohyoid ligament can both result in pain. symptoms: constant burning and sore pain in lower jaw under ear and neck right side for more than 10 months. 2 lump in neck and jaw same in size. ultrasound, CT scan normal results for lymph nodes.is this eagles or segmented styloids? OMFS said no eagles and said it's muscular pain. Ent is not sure if it's eagles.are these segmented?

To me it doesn't seems to be EAGLE Syndrome, as calcification of ligament should be in continuation with styloid tip, length of styloid in your case is also normal, my suggestion wait and watch will be better, go for muscular pain  management.
