title: Abnormal styloid process in a human skull.
abstract: In a survey of 232 Indian human skulls, unusually long and stout, bilateral styloid processes were found in one of them. The length, thickness, the inter-styloid distance and the relations of the styloid processes to other associated structures at the base of the skull are discussed, highlighting the possible importance in clinical and surgical conditions.
