ABSTRACT
The styloid process of the temporal bone is an elongated bony projection presenting a variable length asdemonstrated in osteometric and radiological studies conducted with different techniques three-dimensionalcomputed tomography (3dct) or dental panoramic three-dimensional scanning. An elongated styloid processcan cause neck pain , dysphagia, headache, sore throat, ear pain, mandibular dysfunction which characterizeEagle’s syndrome. Here we present a rare image of an abnormally long styloid process with ossification of leftstylohyoid ligament belonging to a bone collection of the local anatomical museum , part of our department,and discovered during routine osteology classes .Also if a direct relation between the length of the styloidprocess and syndrome of Eagle is not always obvious ,radiologists , neurologists,neurosurgeons, dentists,anesthetists and otolaryngologists could be aware of this bone anomaly to diagnose this syndrome
