[An abnormal hyoid in a panoramic radiograph].
With ossification of the stylohyoid ligament a diverse spectrum of complaints are possible. A conclusive explanation for the appearance of this ossification has so far not been found. Since treatment is not, in principle, necessary, a policy of observation is often preferred. If complaints persist, physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medication or surgical treatment can be considered.
