Whom to see? Ent or OMFS? Styloids
Hi,
I have constant pain in lower jaw under ear lobe and neck for more than 10 months.Have 2 lump spots. One lump spot under the ear which is tender and hurts to touch. One lump spot in neck which is very hard to touch and chickpea size. Doesn't change in size since June 2020.
Had neck ultrasound and CT scan. Normal results. Dentist told me to check about eagles syndrome.
Ct scan evaluated eagles.
Result is,"Right styloid process: Not elongated, measuring about 0.3 cm.
Right stylohyoid ligament: Calcified distal portion, which measures about 0.8 cm.This is located about 2.1 cm from the tip of the right styloid process.Left styloid process/stylohyoid ligament: Borderline top normal size of the left stylohyoid ligament,which is in continuation with the elongated left styloid process, measuring about 2.4 cm combined.One cannot differentiate between what is considered the left styloid process and a calcified stylohyoid ligament in this case".
Pain only on right side.segmented styloids?

Stylo mandibular ligament is calcified and appears like elongated styloid process , the bone does not elongate , consult an ENT surgeon but surgery for eagles syndrome is feasable only if the pain is constant and unbearable as mild discomfort persists even after surgery
