The name styloid process (SP) was derived from the Greek word "stylos" meaning a pillar. It is a bony, cylindrical, needle-shaped projection, which originates from the posterior-inferior side of the petrous bone, immediately in front of the stylomastoid foramen, and goes obliquely down and forward. When elongated leads to pain and discomfort called Eagle's syndrome. Elongated SP accounts approximately to 4-7% of the population, 4% only are symptomatic.
茎突(SP)这个名称源于希腊语“stylos”,意为柱子。它是一个骨质的、圆柱形的、针状突起,起自颞骨岩部的后下侧,紧邻茎乳孔前方,然后斜向下前方延伸。当茎突过长时会导致疼痛和不适,称为鹰综合征。茎突过长在人群中约占4% - 7%,只有4%有症状。
