CTA-based risk assessment of the carotid variant of Eagle syndrome: development and internal validation of a nomogram
Risk of ES-CA-related ICA contact was unrelated to age or angular parameters. Styloid length and sex were the principal structural risk factors, with right-sided predominance in men and left-sided predominance in women, suggesting sex-side interaction. SPL-max was the optimal predictor, with a 3.45-mm lower cut-off in women, and the internally validated nomogram demonstrated clinical utility for early, imaging-based screening.
