title: Stylohyoid syndrome: a case report.
abstract: Elongation of the styloid process and/or ossification of the stylohyoid ligament can be associated with cervical pharyngeal pain, which may be detected both clinically and radiographically. Eagle's syndrome, stylohyoid syndrome, and pseudostylohyoid syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
