Abstract

The symptomatology sometimes due to a giant styloid process can be very troublesome and at the same time unspecific, raising differential diagnosis problems with a large group of pathologies. We report a clinical case of elongated styloid syndrome, stylalgia or Eagle's syndrome, that forced our team to the exeresis of the anomalous process. We emphasizes the relative simplicity of the diagnosis and its treatment as well, especially when the intrabucal approach is followed.
