“…Although the classification criteria were different, in compliance with our study they reported that elongated SHC type was observed mostly in males. Unlikely the segmented type seen more often in females in our study (31.6% in females, 19.7% in males), Petrovic et al [32] reported that this type was observed more frequently in males.…”

“…Petrovic et al [32] evaluated gender and SHC morphology. They classified the SHC at six groups which were: normal appearance with up to 40 mm, normal appearance longer than 40 mm, bent, segmented, pseudoarticulated and styloid process with stylohyoid ligament distally ossified to the hyoid bone.…”

“…The styloid process and stylohyoid ligament ossification has been classified according to their shape and length as normal, elongated, bent, segmented, pseudoarticulated, and distally ossified and fixed to the lesser horn of the hyoid bone. The last type is the least frequently observed (Petrovi c et al, 2017).…”

This article reports two patients with stylohyoid complex syndrome.Cone beam computed tomography examination of the 37-year-old Caucasian woman with hemifacial pain, radiating to the left ear which intensified in response to opening the mouth revealed the ossified distal part of the left stylohyoid ligament, 23.85 mm long, which had a contact with the lesser horn of the hyoid.A 43-year-old man with a 5-month history of pain in the anterolateral surface of the neck and temporomandibular joint on the right side when swallowing and yawning had the styloid process elongation with a "bayonetlike" deformity on the same side.Ossification of the stylohyoid ligament, elongation and bending of the slyloid process, as a reason of the lateral neck and/or facial pain is not commonly suspected in clinical practice where diagnosis is often first made radiologically.

“…Occipital artery and hypoglossal nerve lie laterally to the process. [1,2] SP length presents a large variability, ranging from 5 to 75mm [3]. A scientific global consensus defines that a SP longer than 30mm is considered elongated (Figures 1 and 2) [1].…”

Background: Styloid process (SP) is a needle shaped projection of the temporal bone, which lies in close proximity to several important anatomical structures of the head and neck. It attracts the attention of anatomists, otolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons, as an abnormally long SP is linked with a clinical condition known as Eagle Syndrome. There are numerous studies in the literature investigating morphometric characteristics of SP, including its length in different populations. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of SP elongation in Greek population and to construct an epidemiologic map showing the incidence of SP elongation across different regions of Greek territory. Materials and methods: Two hundred and nine skulls retrieved from cemeteries across Greece were meticulously examined. Ninety-four male skulls and one-hundred and fifteen females, all of Hellenic origin. SP length was measured from the lowest inner point of the surface between the SP and the stylomastoid foramen to its tip, utilizing a digital caliper and a steel wire. Data from this study were statistically analyzed and combined with data from other studies in Greek population in order to construct a detailed epidemiologic map. Results: The mean length was 27.26 ± 5.89 mm for the left and 27.84 ± 6.31 mm for the right SP. In males 36.4% of the left and 37.8% of the right SP were elongated. In females the incidence of SP elongation was 14.3% and 15.5% for left and right side respectively. Statistically significant association was observed between gender and SP length but not between age and SP length. Conclusion: This study enriches the literature by adding information about elongated SP incidence in Greek population. It reviews the existing studies about SP length in Greeks and presents an epidemiologic map showing the incidence of SP elongation across different regions in Greece. KEY WORDS: Skull, Eagle syndrome, Hellenic population, Elongated Styloid Process.

Morphometric analysis of the stylohyoid complex

Abstract: In conclusion, elongated and more medially deviated stylohyoid complexes are more frequent in males than in females. Their more frequent presence in the older age groups indirectly connects this phenomenon with the aging process.
