The styloid process is a bone projection that originates in the tympanic portion of the temporal bone. The enlongation of the styloid process, or the ossification of the styloid process, can originate a series of symptoms such as dysphagia, odynophagia, facial pain, otalgia, headache, tinnitus and trismus, establishing the clinical picture of Eagle Syndrome. In this report, we present an important clinical case of adult patient diagnosed with Eagle’s Syndrome who underwent surgery for reduction of the enlongated styloid process, by intraoral approach, added to a literature review study.
Fibro-bone lesions (LFO) are defined as a group of lesions characterized by the replacement of normal bone tissue with fibrous connective tissue, of variable cellularity, permeated by a variable amount of mineralized material, whose microscopic appearance may resemble bone, cement or a mixture of both. Among the injuries that make up this group, we can mention: fibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibroma, bone dysplasia and cemento-bone dysplasia. In this case report, we presented a mandibular reconstruction with free autogenous graft from the iliac crest, with the use of stereolithography prototyping, after the surgical treatment of a cemento-ossifying fibroma, as well as to describe the clinical, epidemiological, radiographic characteristics, and histological, the differential diagnosis and the form of treatment of the referred pathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
