Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of surgical shortening of the elongated styloid processes on pharyngalgia in patients with styloid process syndrome. Methods Eight patients with styloid process syndrome underwent surgical shortening of the elongated styloid processes; the preoperative and postoperative clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Results The symptom of pharyngalgia in all patients resolved completely after the surgery. One patient bled 30 mL during the surgery, from an injury to the arteriole, due to an incision of the superior constrictor of the pharynx; the bleeding was stopped by ligation. One patient developed delayed hemorrhage at the tonsillar pit on day 7 after surgery; the hemorrhage was stopped by a local application of a cotton ball with hydrogen peroxide. Conclusion Surgical shortening of the elongated styloid processes can effectively treat styloid process syndrome characterized by pharyngalgia.

Key words: Styloid process syndrome, Surgical shortening of elongated styloid processes, Pharyngalgia
