Abstract
Styloid process is a slender pointed bone of variable length, which project downward, forward, and slightly medialward from the posteroinferior portion of the tympanic part of the temporal bone. Embryologically, the styloid process is derived
from
Reichert's cartilage, a structure of second branchial arch origin.
Most patients with elongated styloid process remain asymptomatic, but some patients complain pain and sensation of foreign body in the throat, dysphagi, dysphonia, referred otalgia.
Recently, we have experienced a case of elongated styloid process in a fifty-nine year old man. He had been suffered from Rt. Side sore throat, headache and pharyngeal discomfort during head movement.
Through various X-ray examination, Xeroradiography, and palpation of tonsillar fossa, elongated styloid process on Rt. Side was confirmed. Under the general anesthesia, it was successfully removed out via transoral approach technique, described
by
Eagle. The resected styloid process was 2.5cm in it's length and he was freed from the symptoms without further complication.
