Reports of the elongated styloid process in oral surgery is relatively less than those in otolaryngology. We report a case with some discussion. We encountered a patient who visited our hospital with chief complaint of the swallowing pain and tenderness in the left submandibular triangle. The patient was a 49-year-old female. Clinical examination of the oral cavity showed slight redness and tenderness in the left tonsillar fossa. The X-ray film showed the bilateral styloid process elongated. Under a clinical diagnosis of the left elongated styloid process, this elongated process was removed by an intraoral approach. After operation, the symptoms disappeared and there are no recurrence now. It is said recently that the laryngopharyngeal neurosis is increasing ; some of the laryngopharyngeal neurosis may relate with the elongated styloid process. We should therefore diagnose and treat with caution.
