“…Several reports have described fractures of the SP in patients with Eagle syndrome [3][4][5]. However, no reports have described fracture of the SP due to a minor trauma such as that induced by rolling over.…”

“…However, optimal management of a fracture of the SP depends on its severity and displacement [3]. Surgical removal of an SP bone chip could be necessary in some patients, but conservative treatment might be sufficient in those with only mild discomfort.…”

“…Fracture of an elongated SP is more common [1] than fracture of a normally sized SP, which is a rare event [2]. Previous reports have shown that facial or neck trauma is the most frequent cause of fracture of the SP [3].…”

Fracture of the styloid process (SP) of the temporal bone is a rare traumatic injury in normal patients. The present report describes a fracture of the SP in an elderly patient caused by rolling over during sleep. A 67-year-old Japanese woman presented with sudden neck pain that had occurred upon rolling over in bed the previous night. A computed tomography scan revealed a fracture of the SP. She recovered with conservative treatment. Clinicians should consider a fracture when an elderly patient develops sudden neck pain by rolling over.

“…[3] An ossified stylohyoid chain (SHC) length of longer than 25-30 mm has been reported as elongated on radiographic studies with conventional methods. [4] Based on the criteria suggested by Goldstein and Scopp[5] for radiographic evaluation of ESP, orthopantamogram showed SP on either side extending more than one third of the length of the ramus, but not down to the angle of the mandible [Figure 1]. The fracture of the SP presents with the symptoms similar to that of Eagle's syndrome.…”

Fracture of the styloid process (SP) of temporal bone is an uncommon injuries. Fracture of the SP can be associated with the facial injuries including mandible fracture. However, injury to the SP may be concealed and missed diagnosis may lead to the improper or various unnecessary treatments. A rare case of SP fracture associated with the ipsilateral mandibular fracture and also the diagnostic and management considerations of the SP fracture are discussed.

“…The intra-oral approach has advantages over the extra-oral technique in that it is quicker and easier to perform, eliminates the need for extensive dissection considering the risks in the cervical region, and does not leave an external scar. 15 …”
