| Abstract: | In 1980, 267 patients with related symp-
toms were examined by tomography in our hos-
pital. Among them the styloid process (SP) of
128 cases were 30 mm or more in length. Pha-
ryngeal palpation was performed in 98. The SPs
of 61 patients were palpable and tender. Diagno-
sis was based on the related symptoms, tomogra-
phy, positive pharyngeal palpation and SP tender-
ness. Tomography showed that the longest SP
was 75 mm, while the longest one with symptoms
was 65 mm. The medial angulations of the SPs
were from 100 t0 27° and the anterior angulations
from 300 t0 50°. |
