Hi, I am Dr. Atul Kumar Nimawat MS ENT.
Your styloid process length being 4.4 cm on the right and 4 cm on the left suggests it is elongated. Normally, the styloid process is about 2.5–3 cm, so yours are enlarged, which can be associated with Eagle Syndrome.
Next Steps
Non-surgical treatment
1 Pain Management
2 Steroid or Anesthetic Injections
3 Physical Therapy
4 Diet and Lifestyle Modifications
5 Acupuncture. Relaxation techniques or mindfulness therapy.
