The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of elongated styloid process in digital panoramic radiographs in a North Italian population in relation to age, gender and side.
This study was performed as a retrospective analysis on digital panoramic radiographs of 600 (271 males and 329 females) Italian patients between 6 and 87 years old. The styloid process length were measured using the measuring tool of Sidexis Software. It was measured from the point where it left the temporal bone plate to its tip. Styloid processes measuring more than 30 mm were considered elongated. Chi-squared and Fisher tests were used and the test is considered significant if the -value is lower or equal to 0.05.
Thirty-three per cent of the patients showed an elongated styloid process. Seventeen per cent were elongated on both right and left side, fifteen point nine per cent were elongated only in one side.
The prevalence of elongated styloid process was high and a progressive increase of the elongation prevalence was found in older groups. Elongated styloid process, Eagle's syndrome, panoramic radiograph.
本研究旨在评估意大利北部人群数字化全景片中茎突过长的患病率，并分析其与年龄、性别及左右侧的关系。
本研究对600例（271例男性和329例女性）年龄在6至87岁的意大利患者的数字化全景片进行回顾性分析。使用Sidexis软件的测量工具测量茎突长度。测量从茎突离开颞骨板的点到其尖端。茎突长度超过30mm被认为过长。采用卡方检验和Fisher检验，若P值小于或等于0.05，则认为检验具有显著性。
33%的患者显示茎突过长。17%的患者双侧茎突过长，15.9%的患者仅一侧茎突过长。
茎突过长的患病率较高，且在老年组中过长患病率呈逐渐上升趋势。茎突过长、鹰综合征、全景片。
