This case report demonstrates an uncommon, symptomatic elongated styloid process that did not conform to the usual clinical features. The patient was under 30 years of age when the symptoms appeared. He experienced the classic symptoms without prior tonsillectomy; he also experienced carotid artery syndrome symptoms. However, the patient did receive the common diagnosis seen in many cases of unexplained chronic head and neck pain. He was simply labeled a psychotic with no just cause for pain.
本病例报告展示了一例罕见的、有症状的茎突过长病例，其临床表现不符合常见特征。症状出现时患者年龄不到30岁。他在未行扁桃体切除术的情况下出现了典型症状；还出现了颈动脉综合征症状。然而，该患者确实得到了许多不明原因慢性头颈疼痛病例中常见的诊断。他仅仅被贴上了精神病患者的标签，却没有疼痛的正当理由。
