Stylohyoid syndrome. Report of a case.
A classic case of stylohyoid syndrome, in which the patient complained of vague oral pain, dysphagia, and pain when turning the head to either side, is presented. Although radiographic evidence confirmed the diagnosis, a number of practitioners failed to identify the cause of the patient's discomfort, which ultimately led to her death.
