Elongated styloid process
I have bilateral styloid process 5cm both sides .but I feel tightness in right side of throat.endoscopy is normal.mri is normal.CT shows bilateral styloid process. Tried tegrital 100 and pregabalin 75.but no improvement. Now what should I do for this problem tried so many ent doctors.
An elongated styloid process can be treated in 3 ways-
1) Medication- which you are already taking
2) Injection around the area with a local anaesthetic and corticosteroid by an Interventional radiologist.
3) Surgical excision of the styloid process.
Good luck.

A calcified elongated styloid process can sometimes give rise to symptoms similar to what you describe, however the treatment heavily relies on painkillers which you’re taking.
