Hyoid bone is a solitary bone localized at the level of cervical 3 vertebrae, connected to the adjacent bone structures with muscles and tendons. Anatomical variations of hyoid bone can cause difficulties in the application of forensic medicine together with clinical and surgical problems. We present a case of a 81-year-old woman, reported to got sick, who died at home. In the autopsy, the neck dissection revealed prolonged right and left greater horns of hyoid bone measured 11 cm and 7 cm respectively. We aimed to present a case with long hyoid bone horns and discuss recent literature.
舌骨是一块独立的骨头，位于颈椎第3节水平，通过肌肉和肌腱与相邻的骨骼结构相连。舌骨的解剖变异会给法医学应用以及临床和外科手术带来困难。我们报告一例81岁女性病例，据报道该患者生病后在家中死亡。尸检时，颈部解剖发现舌骨左右大角延长，分别为11厘米和7厘米。我们旨在呈现一例舌骨角较长的病例并讨论近期文献。
