ABSTRACT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The styloid process of the temporal bone\u00a0 is an elongated\u00a0\u00a0 bony projection\u00a0 presenting a variable length as demonstrated in osteometric and radiological studies conducted with different techniques: three-dimensional computed tomography (3dct) or dental panoramic three-dimensional scanning. An elongated styloid process can cause neck pain , dysphagia, headache, sore throat, ear pain, mandibular dysfunction which characterize Eagle\u2019s syndrome. Here\u00a0 we present a rare image of an abnormally long styloid process with ossification of left stylohyoid \u00a0ligament \u00a0belonging to a bone collection of the\u00a0 local anatomical museum , part of\u00a0 our department, and discovered during routine osteology\u00a0 classes .Also if\u00a0 a\u00a0 direct relation between the length of the styloid process and\u00a0 syndrome\u00a0 of Eagle\u00a0 is not always obvious ,radiologists , neurologists,neurosurgeons, dentists, anesthetists \u00a0and \u00a0otolaryngologists could be aware of this bone anomaly \u00a0to diagnose this syndrome.<\/p>\n

Key words:<\/strong> Elongated styloid process, Stylohyoid ligament, Ossification, Eagle syndrome.<\/p>\n
