Fracture of an elongated styloid process or ossified stylohyoid ligament is uncommon. Neck or throat pain, decreased mobility, hoarseness, and mass in the neck are signs and symptoms of fracture. The inciting trauma may be as mild as yawning but more often blunt trauma of a serious nature, such as motor vehicle accident, is the cause. The diagnosis may be missed because of difficulty imaging the stylohyoid apparatus. Two cases are presented that demonstrate the variability of symptoms and trauma. Previous reports of similar injuries and selection of radiographic examinations, including computed tomography, are discussed.
细长茎突或茎突舌骨韧带骨化骨折并不常见。颈部或咽喉疼痛、活动受限、声音嘶哑及颈部肿块是骨折的体征和症状。诱发创伤可能轻至打哈欠，但更常见的是严重的钝性创伤，如机动车事故。由于茎突舌骨结构成像困难，诊断可能会被漏诊。本文介绍了两例病例，展示了症状和创伤的多样性。还讨论了以往类似损伤的报告及包括计算机断层扫描在内的影像学检查的选择。
