A rare hyoid bone malformation caused neck pain in a young woman. Surgical removal of the greater cornua resolved the symptoms, highlighting this unusual cause of head pain.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Radiology
  • Surgery

Background:

  • Neck pain can significantly impact quality of life.
  • Hyoid bone abnormalities are uncommon causes of neck discomfort.

Observation:

  • A young woman presented with positional neck pain, specifically when turning her head.
  • Conventional radiography and MRI failed to identify the cause of her pain.

Findings:

  • Spiral computed tomography (CT) with 3D reconstruction identified a hyoid bone malformation.
  • The patient's symptoms were directly linked to the malformed hyoid bone.

Implications:

  • CT imaging with specific positioning can diagnose rare hyoid bone anomalies.
  • Surgical excision of the greater cornua of the hyoid bone offers a definitive treatment for this condition.
