ABSTRACT
Elongated styloid process or ossification of the styloid or stylomandibular ligament is a source of the craniofacial and cervical pain. Most patients with elongated styloid remain asymptomatic but some patients complain of vague facial pain, otalgia, dysphagia and pain along the distribution of internal and external carotid artery. Differential diagnosis from chronic pharyngotonsillitis, trigeminal neuralgia and glossopharyngeal neulagia is difficult. Because that normal length of styloid process was not evaluated and diagnostic criteria was not unclear in Korea, authors measured the length of styloid process in non-symptomatic 60 adults using Fuchs' method.
