Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 18
Abstract
The aim of our study was to find the length of the styloid process and to see if there is any difference in the length on the right and left side. For this purpose, 53 skull bones were studied from the student sets & Department of Anatomy. According to Grey’s Anatomy, the styloid process is approximately 2.5 cm in length. Eagle stated that normal styloid process is approximately 2.75 cm. & any beyond that is elongated (Eagle 1949). In our study we have considered the range between 2.5 cm & 2.7 cm as normal. It was observed that 14% of styloid process were elongated on the right side and same number on left side, with no significant difference on both the sides. AIM & OBJECTIVE To study the length of the styloid process in the Cadaveric Skull in the population of Goa, to co-relate the study with the Eagle Syndrome, to find any significant difference between the length of right & left side styloid process.
