[The significance of the styloid process syndrome in the differential diagnosis of temporomandibular dysfunction].
Two cases are reported on, both patients came to the clinic on the suspicion of temporo mandibular joint disfunction. Their complaints was caused by overdeveloped processus styloideus. After surgical removal of the processus styloideus the complaints ceased. In cases of seemingly temporo mandibular joint disfunction not improving on conventional treatment the possibility of the processus styloideus syndroma has to be considered.
