Abstract
PROCESO ESTIILOHIOIDEO ELONGADO Y CALCIFICADO ASINTOMÁTICO. PRESENTACIÓN DE UN CASO El proceso estilohioideo es una estructura ósea rodeada  por nervios y vasos sanguíneos. La calcificación elongación del ligamento estilohioideo en más de 30 mm puede asociarse a dolor facial y del cuello, conocido como síndrome de Eagle. Sin embargo esta alteración anatómica puede ser asintomática. Presentamos una mujer asintomática de 79 años a quien se le descubrieron procesos estiolhioideo pseudo articulado de 80,96 mm a un lado y 75,85 mm al otro lado, en una radiografía dental convencional. En la tomografía axial computada, ambos procesos estaban calcificados. 
 
The stylohyoid process is a cylindrical bony structure surrounded by important anatomical structures including vessels and nerves. Calcification and elongation  of the stylohyoid ligament complex over  30 mm  may be associated with neck and facial pain, known as  Eagle syndrome. However, a bilateral ossified and elongated stylohyoid complex may be devoid of symptoms. We report a 79-years-old symptom-free female who presented on a routine conventional dental radiographic exam an 80.96 mm pseudoarticulated stylohyoid complex in the left side and an 75.85 mm on the other. On CAT scan, both processes were calcified.
