A Case of Bilaterally Elongated Styloid Process Differing in Osseo-Morphology

In a cranium of a male cadaver styloid processes have been found to be unusually long with different lengths. Elongation of styloid process involvethe entire 'Stylohyoid complex/chain', though not rare as reported in earlier literatures, but the osseomorphological and radiological analysis of present case brings out a unique variety as its described in the article.
