ABSTRACT |
The styloid process is a slender, cylindrical bony outgrowth located immediately in front of the stylomastoid foramen and fused to the inferior aspect of the temporal bone. The elongated styloid process is not so frequent, and the styloid syndrome is a dull nagging pain in the throat, often localized to the tonsillar fossa and radiating to the ear. The symptoms are secondary stimulation of the nerves and vessels which pass close to the tip of the process. Recently, the authors have experienced one case of the elongated styloid process in 25 years old female patient.
