Summary

Elongated styloid process (ESP) causes craniofacial pain and is hard to diagnose. Surgical management via an intraoral approach is safe and effective for treating ESP symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Elongated styloid process (ESP) is a significant cause of cervicofacial pain.
  • Diagnosis of ESP can be challenging for clinicians.
  • Understanding ESP symptomatology is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria for elongated styloid process.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical management for patients with ESP.

Main Methods:

  • A 10-year retrospective study of 58 patients diagnosed with elongated styloid process.
  • Diagnostic methods included palpation of the tonsillar fossa, lidocaine infiltration test, and orthopantomography.
  • Surgical intervention was performed via an intraoral approach.

Main Results:

  • The intraoral surgical approach resulted in minimal complications.
  • No cases of deep neck infection were reported in the study cohort.
  • Patients experienced relief from cervicofacial pain following surgical intervention.

Conclusions:

  • The intraoral surgical approach is a safe and effective method for managing elongated styloid process.
  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention can significantly improve patient outcomes.
  • Further research into diagnostic nuances and long-term results is warranted.
