A case is reported of a 42-year-old female patient, who presented with clinical symptoms of Eagle's syndrome, radiographic evidence of marginally elongated styloid processes as well as markedly elongated lesser cornua of the hyoid. The symptoms were successfully treated by amputating the lesser cornua of the hyoid. The patient has now been asymptomatic for more than 6 years.
