We report 10 patients of styloid process syndrome who were admitted to our hospital. The patients, consisting of 6 men and 4 women, ranged in age from 28 to 80 years old, with an average age of 62.9 years. The chief complaints were pain in the throat (3 cases), neck pain (2 cases), lower jaw pain (1 case), giddiness (1 case), sense of incongruity in the throat (2 cases), and asymptomatic (1 case).<br> The length of the styloid process was measured using computed tomography (CT). The length of the right styloid process was distributed in the range of 30 to 75 mm, with an average length of 49.5 mm, while that of the left styloid process was distributed in the range of 30 to 75 mm, with an average length of 46.5 mm. Surgery was performed in 4 patients, and was successful in all 4.<br> The symptoms of styloid process syndrome are non-specific, which potentially delays accurate diagnosis. Therefore, styloid process syndrome is a condition that should always be borne in mind in routine clinical practice.<br>
