Resumo

O alongamento do processo estilóide não é uma ocorrência rara. O exame de 501 cránios, em perfeitas condições de mensuração, revelou que 98 deles (19,56%) apresentavam evidentes caracterfsticas de processo estilóide alongado, com 30mm ou mais. Não houve predomináncia uni ou bilateral e o maior número das anomalias (74) alcançava um comprimento de 30 a 35mm. Esta condição anatómica pode ser assintomática, mas pode se manifestar como síndrome estilo-estilohióidea (síndrome de Eagle), com sintomas variados. Os clínicos devem estar atentos para esta possível ocorrência, visto que muitos pacientes com esta síndrome foram avaliados como tendo outra espécie de problema.

Abstract

To call attention to the occurrence of additional mineralization in the styloid process, 501 dried skulls from adult Brazilian residents were reviewed. Ninety-eight (19.56%) of them were found to show evidence of elongation of the styloid process (greater than 30mm). Of these abnormalities, about half (48. 98%) were bilateral. The largest number of abnormalities were found in the 30mm to 35mm range. Clinicians should be aware with the possible clinical manifestations of this phenomenon (stylo-stylohyoid or Eagle's syndrome) to make a proper diagnosis and to avoid complications.
