ABSTRACT

Without the knowledge of this syndrome misdiagnosis can be made and therefore differential diagnosis with other diseases of oral and maxillofacial area is required. The symptoms of elongated styloid process are cervical pain, foreign body sensation, dysphagia and pharyngeal pain. A 27 years old male visited our hospital.

Characteristically, preoperative facial nerve palsy showed rapid postoperative recovery. The other clinical symptoms that were present in the initial visit were diminished.
