In this study a radiological assessment of elongated styloid processes and ossified stylohyoid ligaments was performed on 900 panoramic radiographs of 900 patients. The styloid process(s) were found to be longer than 30 mm in 12 cases; in 8 of these cases elongation was bilateral, and in 4 cases it was unilateral, making a total of 20 elongated processes out of a possible 1800--an incidence of 1.1%. The mean length of the elongated processes was 48.15 mm. Symptoms were present in one case of bilateral elongation.
在本研究中,对900例患者的900张全景X线片进行了茎突过长和茎突舌骨韧带骨化的影像学评估。发现12例茎突长度超过30mm;其中8例为双侧延长,4例为单侧延长,在可能的1800个茎突中共有20个延长茎突,发生率为1.1%。延长茎突的平均长度为48.15mm。双侧延长的1例出现了症状。
