Many studies have been done on the elongated styloid process. The close proximity of styloid process to vital neurovascular structures in the neck makes it clinically significant. Eagle's syndrome is characterized by craniofacial and cervical pain due to an elongated styloid process. The normal length of styloid process is between 20 mm-25 mm1. However, the length of styloid process varies between 15.2mm-47.7mm according to Moffat et al2 study. The present case report of a female skeletal remains sent for expert opinion from Medical Officer of Primary Health Center Kalahangaraga, Gulbarga district, highlights the skull bone with bilateral styloid process measuring 40 mm on right side and 55 mm on left side.
