“…The external approach to the styloid process involves a transcervical approach to the parapharyngeal space, 6 and wider visualization in the operative field than an intraoral approach. 7 , 15 , 16 In our cases, the styloid process reached the parapharyngeal space. Therefore, we selected the external approach.…”

“…This surgical shortening of an elongated styloid process is often performed using an intraoral or external approach. 7 , 15 , 16 It can often enable an intraoral approach requiring shorter surgical time and less surgical trauma without leaving visible scars on the neck. The external approach to the styloid process involves a transcervical approach to the parapharyngeal space, 6 and wider visualization in the operative field than an intraoral approach.…”

We experienced a case of an elongated styloid process that was 8 cm in length. The patient was a 68-year-old Japanese man with frequent episodes of left-sided throat pain for 10 years. The elongated styloid process could be diagnosed by 3D-computed tomography (left and right length: 7.8 cm and 8.0 cm, respectively) and successfully treated with surgery, since the anatomic relationships could be fully visualized. Surgical methods for shortening an elongated styloid process involve an intraoral or external approach. The external approach to the styloid process involves a trans-cervical approach to the parapharyngeal space, which enables wider visualization in the operative field than an intraoral approach. In the present case, the styloid process reached the parapharyngal space. Therefore, we selected the external approach and shortened only the left-sided styloid process (the same side as the throat pain). The chief complaint disappeared immediately after the operation.

Eagle syndrome is characterized by recurrent pain in the oropharynx and face due to an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament. In this article, we experienced a case of an elongated styloid process which is very rare in size and detailed treatment process. The patient was a 53-year-old Chinese woman with a chief complaint of frequent episodes of radiating pain in left preauricular region for 2 years. An intraoral approach was chosen to shorten part of her styloid process, and the chief complaint disappeared immediately after the operation.
