“…Regarding gender, no statistically significant difference was observed between genders in the unilateral or bilateral elongation of the SP. This was in agreement with the previous studies [11,15,16].…”

“…Also left sided elongated styloid processes were significantly much longer than the right sided elongated styloid processes. Concerning gender no statistically significant variation was observed in the unilateral, bilateral or overall elongation of the styloid process which is in agreement with other studies [4,23].…”

Introduction and Objectives:The mean radiographic length of the styloid process has been reported to be between 20 to 30 mm. Although the reason for its variable development is not clear, elongation of the styloid process is recognized as one of the numerous causes of pain in the craniocervical region. Length of the styloid process in the Nepalese population has not been carried extensively to date. With this in mind our study aims to measure the length of styloid process on panoramic radiographs and determine the variation in age, sex and sides of the elongated styloid process.

“…Montalbetti et al (1995) termed it "regressive ontogenetic development". Currently, the calcification theory of the stylohyoid ligament seems to be accepted for pathogenesis of several syndromes associated with the so-called stylohyoid chain (Ferrario et al, 1990;MacDonald-Jankowski, 2001;Alpoz et al, 2014).…”

Currently, theories based on acquired calcification of the stylohyoid ligament are believed to be a pathogenesis of syndromes associated with the hyoid apparatus (HA) and its variations. We studied the development of the HA from Reicherts cartilage using serial sections of 25 human embryos and 45 fetuses. We ensured a fact that, at the initial stage, the HA appeared as two independent cartilage segments, that is, the cranial or styloid segment and the caudal or hyoid segment of Reichert's cartilage, those are connected by a mesenchymal structure. However, between 8 and 10 weeks of development, the mesenchymal connection was lost. We hypothesize that this disconnection is likely to be one of the major factors to make a descent of the hyoid bone in evolution. The stylohyoid ligament was not observed. The variations of the HA, should be considered variations of the development of Reicherts cartilage. If these variations are maintained in the adult, are likely to explain a major symptom associated with Eagle s syndrome.
