AbstractDuring retrieving of skull bone from a known male cadaver of 44 years, excessive elongated styloid process was observed on both the sides of skull. The length of styloid process was same on both the sides i.e. 4.4 cm. It was concavo-convex and pointed. It was directed anteriorly, inferiorly and medially. Excessive elongated styloid process may create
pressure on facial nerve and external and or internal carotid artery which causes pain in cervicofacial region and sometimes it is asymptomatic. Surgical resection of styloid process is required if elongated styloid process is associated with severe symptoms.
