Abstract
Orofacial pain is an unpleasant symptom that can originate from
several etiologies, including inflammation of the eustachian tube, parotid
gland infection, impacted teeth, trauma, carcinoma of pharynx, and trigeminal
neuralgia. The most common diagnoses of orofacial pain are cluster headache,
migraine, and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). On the other hand,
elongation of styloid process, also known as Eagle’s syndrome, is often
neglected because of its rare occurrence. Orofacial pain related to an
elongated process can be relieved by its surgical removal. Therefore, it is
important to gather all necessary information by history taking and clinical
and radiographic investigation to make the correct diagnosis so that
unnecessary treatment and surgeries can be avoided.
