“…Elongated styloid process presents with symptoms that may include a dull aching pain localized in the throat, otalgia, hemifacial pain, dysphasia or an abnormal sensation of a foreign body in the pharynx [2,5]. It seems that the length is not enough to explain these complaints [19] as many cases of elongated SP are asymptomatic, thus, other morphological characteristics of the SHC, such as the angle degree, are necessary to explain the causes [17,20].…”

“…Elongated styloid process gives an array of symptoms as described by Eagle in 1937, hence the condition is also known as Eagle's syndrome; symptoms are secondary to calcification of the stylohyoid ligamentor to an elongated SP [2]. The Normal length of the styloid process as stated by Eagle was 2.5cm [3].…”

“…Studies involving the Indian population has shown a wide range in length between 19-54mm [4]. Most of them cases of elongated styloid are asymptomatic, when symptomatic may present as dull, aching pain localized in the throat, otalgia, hemifacial pain, dysphasia or an abnormal sensation of a foreign body in the pharynx [2,5].…”

Objective: the aim of the study was to assess the length, angulations and the pattern of ossification of the Styloid process (SP) and to know if any correlation exists between them.Method: 50 patients of CBCT, TMJ views were considered, a total of 87tmjs were viewed using ORTHOPHOS XG3D X-ray system. The length, mediolateral (MLA), anteroposterior angulation (APA) was measured. The morphology was identified on 3D images. Person's Correlation coefficient was used for statistical analysis.Result: 0f the 87 scan. The Mean length of SP in males was 32.10mm and in females was 31.62mm. There was no statistical significance between sides and between the length and age. The mean MLA in males was 80.60 and in females it was 82.40. MLA on right was 81.40 and left was 81.30 the mean APA in males and females was 25.2 and 31.1 respectively, In this study we found no correlation between length, age and agulation of the styloid process. Conclusion:This study indicates that with an increase in length there is no significant increase in angulations. Age and gender showed no correlation with length. During evaluation of the Stylohyoid complex (SHC) length, angulations and morphology should be considered

“…Diagnosis can usually be made on physical examination by digital palpation of the styloid process in the tonsillar fossa, which exacerbates the pain and with radiographic work-up. In addition, relief of symptoms with injection of an anesthetic solution into the tonsillar fossa is highly suggestive of this diagnosis [12].…”

Objectives/hypothesis Reported here is a randomized retrospective analysis of 28 cases of elongated styloid process causing nagging cervicofacial pain, both unilateral and bilateral, and the effect of styloidectomy in these cases in relieving the symptom complex of the patient, in situations where conservative management failed in alleviating the symptoms.Study design Randomized retrospective analysis over a period of 25 months. ConclusionElongated styloid process causing glossopharyn-geal neuralgia is beginning to be a frequently encountered clinical entity nowadays. Of the 28 cases of elongated styloid process who underwent unilateral/ bilateral styloidectomy, 27 patients had total relief of symptoms. Hence, we advocate styloidectomy, following careful diagnosis of the entity with clinical and radiological correlation, if the patient does not respond to medical therapy. The psychological status of the patient would provide clue to the authenticity of the symptoms in unrelieved cases.
