Elongated styloid process or eagles syndrome is uncommon condition. Confirmation of diagnosis is by correlation of symptoms with CT scan findings as CT is more precise. Confirmation of symptom relation to elongated styloid process is done by infiltration of local anesthetic into the area of styloid process and then looking for symptom relief. If you feel better after this procedure then surgery is considered
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
