Objective: the aim of the study was to assess the length, angulations and the pattern of ossification of the Styloid process (SP) and to know if any correlation exists between them.Method: 50 patients of CBCT, TMJ views were considered, a total of 87tmjs were viewed using ORTHOPHOS XG3D X-ray system. The length, mediolateral (MLA), anteroposterior angulation (APA) was measured. The morphology was identified on 3D images. Person's Correlation coefficient was used for statistical analysis.Result: 0f the 87 scan. The Mean length of SP in males was 32.10mm and in females was 31.62mm. There was no statistical significance between sides and between the length and age. The mean MLA in males was 80.60 and in females it was 82.40. MLA on right was 81.40 and left was 81.30 the mean APA in males and females was 25.2 and 31.1 respectively, In this study we found no correlation between length, age and agulation of the styloid process. Conclusion:This study indicates that with an increase in length there is no significant increase in angulations. Age and gender showed no correlation with length. During evaluation of the Stylohyoid complex (SHC) length, angulations and morphology should be considered

Knowledge of the Eagle's syndrome shows that its symptoms can be very easily confused with other types of craniomandibular disorders, especially temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The aim of this study was to find a possible correlation between the presence of TMD and elongation of the styloid process as well relate to presence of calcification of the stilohyoid chain. Fifty patients with TMD, confirmed from the RDC/TMD, were examined clinically and radiographically. Radiographic documentation consisted of digital panoramic radiograph and digital lateral cephalometric radiograph. Radiocef software (Radiomemory) was used for the analysis of radiographs by means of specific cephalometric tracing and linear measurements of the styloid process. Each radiograph was traced and measured three times with intervals of 1 month to spread the error. Statistical analysis was performed by Pearson's test (p=0.001) using Biostat 4.0 statistical software. Result showed an incidence of 76% elongation of the styloid process in the sample. There was a correlation between the bilateral measures taken in panoramic radiographs (р<0.001) and also for measures of styloid process length carried out in different panoramic radiographs and lateral cephalometric radiographs (р<0.001). It was concluded that there is prevalence of elongated styloid process in patients with TMD. However, no relationship was found between measurements on the stylohyoid chain and symptoms of headache, orofacial pain, tinnitus and vertigo.

“…Measurements performed by different methods revealed that the mean length of SP may vary within an interval larger than 1 cm [1,9,13,21]. Usually, an SP measuring 2.5 cm in length is considered to be normal, but if its length exceeds 3 cm, the SP is regarded as elongated [4,5,21].…”
