Symptoms of ipsilateral carotid artery compression secondary to an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament may be seen in Eagle syndrome. The patient will typically experience cervicofacial pain due to stimulation of the arterial nervous plexus. In addition, symptoms directly attributable to compression of the carotid artery may be seen, including visual symptoms and syncope....

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of stylohyoid ligament complex elongation in a group of Iranian patients using digital panoramic radiographs. Methods: Panoramic radiographs of 1211 patients (684 females and 527 males) referred to the dental school of Hamadan university of medical science were selected from 2011 to 2013. The stylohyoid ligament complexes wer...

PURPOSE We report a series of 5 patients (mean age, 41 y) presenting with ulnar styloid impingement syndrome (USIS) and treated by an oblique ulnar styloid osteotomy. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the osteotomy is an effective method for treating USIS. METHODS The diagnosis of USIS was made based on a history of ulnar-sided wrist pain supported by clinical and radiological...

Styloid process is a process or projection from the skull base with a normal length of 2.5-3.0 cm. In certain individuals for a variety of reasons there may be an elongation of styloid process. Abnormally long styloid process becomes symptomatic in patients and manifest as Eagle’s Syndrome. The aim of our study was to retrospectively measure the length of the styloid process on archived Orthopa...

Objective: This study aimed to assess the anatomical variation of styloid process Nepalese individuals by using multi-detector computed tomography scans. It was carried out establish baseline for normal length and compare variability measurement between different age group gender. Materials methods: quantitative, cross-sectional performed in Department Radiology Imaging, Tribhuvan University Te...

The styloid process (SP) is a cylindrical, long cartilaginous bone located on the temporal bone. The normal SP length is approximately 20-30 mm. The styloid process elongation (SPE) can be assumed if either the SP or the adjacent stylohyoid ligament ossification shows an overall length in excess of 30 mm. Elongated SP is known as Eagle's syndrome when it causes clinical symptoms as neck and cer...

Background The location of the ulnar styloid process can be confusing because the radius and the hand rotate around the ulna. The purpose of this study was to identify the absolute location of the ulnar styloid process, which is independent of forearm pronation or supination, to use it as a reference for neutral forearm rotation on lateral radiographs of the wrist. Methods Computed tomography...

The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the functional outcomes of patients with a distal radius fracture with and without a concomitant fracture of the ulnar styloid process. A systematic literature search was performed to identify all studies comparing patients with a distal radius fracture with and without an ulnar styloid process fracture. The initial search revealed 511 articles, of w...
