The Length of Styloid Process and the Correlation between Lengths and Clinical Symptoms in the Turkish Population
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Back ground: Elongated styloid (ES) (also known as Eagle’s syndrome) is a rare condition causing pain and various symptoms in the maxillofacial region. Purpose: In our study we aimed to evaluate the length of the styloid process in the Turkish population and to assess the correlation between this length and clinical symptoms. Method: We measured the length of Styloid process (SP) on the randomly chosen Cone beam computerized tomographies (CBCT) of 530 patients. Arithmetic mean and Standard deviation as well as Ranges, medians and 95.percentile values were used for descriptive statistics. Regression models were evaluated for the relationships between age and SP length, student-t test was used to compare means. Results: Statistically significant differences have not been found between genders in SP lengths and ages. None of the results are powerful enough for a clinically meaningful relationship (R2> 0.1). Conclusion: Although many researchers worked on this subject so far but it still needs more investigation to understand fully this syndrome.
