Journal Title: Indian Journal of Research in Pharmacy and Biotechnology - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The name styloid process (SP) was derived from the Greek word ‘stylos’ meaning a pillar. It is a bony, cylindrical, needle-shaped projection, which originates from the posterior-inferior side of the petrous bone, immediately in front of the stylomastoid foramen, and goes obliquely down and forward. When elongated leads to pain and discomfort called Eagle’s syndrome. Elongated styloid process accounts approximately to 4–7% of the population, 4% only are symptomatic.In this paper, we report two cases of patients with Eagle’s syndrome.
