The aim of this study was to evaluate the mean radiographic length of styloid process in a sample of Croatian population, and based on biological basis, to suggest a classification applicable in clinical practice. Two hundred and ninety six panoramic x-rays were examined, out of which 161 from males and 135 from females. The length of the styloid process was measured and age analysis was conduc...

Eagle's syndrome or styalgia is characterised by the anatomical bone deformity of styloid process, as identified Wat W. Eagle in 19491. An aggregate symptoms caused elongation and severe calcification temporal bone's well ligaments attached to this including stylomandibular ligaments, have been identified2. The process typically 20 30 mm length, patients with elongated processes 40 longer clini...

OBJECTIVE The objectives of this study were to assess the elongation of the styloid process on digital panoramic radiographs and to evaluate the prevalence of the elongation according to age, sex and types. PATIENTS AND METHODS Digital panoramic radiographs of 198 geriatric edentulous patients were analyzed. The radiographic length of the styloid process was measured on both sides using the m...

Eagle’s syndrome represent as a neck, cervicofacial pain, dysphagia, facial globus sensation, tinnitus, otalgia and headache, it may be unilateral or bilateral. About 4% of adult population accounted elongated styloid process, which are the principal factor followed by 0.16% patients symptomatic. Stylohyoid ligament calcification is second most common factor. The diagnosis must made through det...
