Department of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryOrofacial 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.
