Surgery for abnormal styloid process can resolve pharyngeal paraesthesia in many patients. Comprehensive analysis is needed as not all styloid abnormalities cause these symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Surgery
  • Anatomy

Context:

  • Pharyngeal paraesthesia, often presenting as a foreign body sensation or sore throat, can be linked to styloid process abnormalities.
  • The elongated or abnormal styloid process (Eagle syndrome) is a recognized, though not fully understood, cause of various head and neck symptoms.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the correlation between pharyngeal paraesthesia and styloid process abnormalities.
  • To assess the efficacy of surgical intervention, specifically partial styloid process removal, in alleviating these symptoms.

Summary:

  • A study of 104 patients with styloid process abnormality and pharyngeal paraesthesia evaluated preoperative and postoperative outcomes.
  • Following partial removal of the styloid process, 71.2% of patients experienced complete symptom resolution, and 12.5% showed improvement, yielding an overall response rate of 83.7%.

Impact:

  • The findings suggest that surgical treatment via an intraoral approach is a viable option for managing pharyngeal paraesthesia associated with styloid process abnormalities.
  • Highlights the necessity for thorough diagnostic evaluation, as not all styloid process anomalies manifest with pharyngeal symptoms, guiding appropriate patient selection for surgery.
