Abstract:
Stylohyoid syndrome is a disease caused by irritation of
the surrounding nerve, vascular and muscle structures by the styloid
process of the temporal bone. Symptoms of stylohyoid syndrome are
found in various otolaryngological, neurological and dental diseases,
which requires differential diagnosis, predominance of one or another
symptom of stylohyoid syndrome, or other pathology. There was a need
to develop a differential diagnosis algorithm for practicing doctors when
referring to patients with confirmed elongation of the styloid process of
the temporal bone, and the presence of a visual picture of disorders of the
vocal apparatus, for a correct idea of which symptomatology prevails.
