Abstract:
Calcification of the stylohyoid ligament is a well recognised radiographic finding in dental practice. Fortunately, affected individuals seldom develop symptoms. We report a case of a patient whose main complaint was a loud click following jaw movement. This unusual presentation has not been described before and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of 'clicking jaw'.
