PURPOSE: Internal carotid artery dissection (ICA-D) frequently leads to ischemic stroke in individuals under 50 years. There is mounting evidence on the role of the styloid process (SP) in ICA-D, particularly SP length and the SP-ICA distance. Despite having clear guidelines on the treatment of SP-related Eagle syndrome and ICA-D, the concept of SP-related ICA-D is relatively new and no therapeutic guidelines exist. METHODS: A narrative literature search was performed to identify all articles pertaining to the diagnosis and treatment of ICA-D linked to an ipsilateral elongated SP or short SP-ICA distance. The treatments were evaluated in terms of symptom recurrence after the treatment. As illustrative examples of clinical management, we present an in-house case series of patients with suspected ICA-D related to SP. RESULTS: Treatment efficacy was assessed, with an in-house case series provided. Seventy-five reports and case studies involving 84 patients were analyzed. Conservative treatments were common (52%) but had a high symptom recurrence rate (33%). It is noteworthy that no patients treated initially with styloidectomy exhibited symptom recurrence. CONCLUSION: In case of a correctly diagnosed SP-related ICA-D, a styloidectomy may offer a curative option, but more research is needed for clear indications and standardized guidelines to prevent recurrent symptoms or strokes.

BACKGROUND: Eagle's syndrome (ES) is a term describing a group of symptoms associated with the elongation of the styloid process (SP) of the temporal bone or with ossification of the stylohyoid ligament. Clinically, it manifests through pain in the orofacial and pharyngeal regions, similar to that experienced by patients with temporomandibular joint disease. The presented paper aims to assess the evaluation of the success of surgical treatment and the complications associated with such treatment. METHODS: Our retrospective study includes nine patients with ES treated in our Department Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in years 2019-2023 (median age of 47 years) - all patients affected with this disease out of 2,716 patients examined at our department due to a temporomandibular joint disease. Eight of these patients underwent a surgical resection of the SP. The success and complications in these patients are evaluated in this study. RESULTS: In seven patients, the problems disappeared or at least diminished, which is consistent with data from the literature. Postoperative complications such as deficit of the marginal branch of the facial nerve (n. VII), limited sticking the tongue out (n. XII), and velopharyngeal insufficiency (n. IX) occurred in three patients. CONCLUSION: The wide spectrum of clinical manifestations makes ES a condition that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disorders, post-traumatic conditions, or complicated eruption of wisdom teeth or their extraction. ES can be treated conservatively or (mostly) surgically. Surgical treatment can be relatively successful and effective, but it is necessary to respect the anatomical placement of the SP, which can be associated with the development of complications, especially in cases with extremely long SP.

The temporal bones from fetuses with known autosomal trisomy syndromes were examined histopathologically after spontaneous or induced abortions. Fetal ages dated from the 17th to the 24th week of pregnancy. In all, 17 temporal bones from nine fetuses were studied and included seven cases of Down's syndrome and two of Edwards' syndrome. Temporal bones from fetuses with Down's syndrome had more abnormalities of the external and middle ears than of the inner ear. The bones from the fetuses with Edwards' syndrome showed abnormalities of the external or middle ear and retarded development of the inner ear (failed ossification of the otic capsule and unformed organ of Corti).
