We carried out successful resection of an elongated styloid process under the guideance of a navigation system. A 58-year-old man presented to us with a 2-year history of an annoying sensation in the throat, otalgia, and left-sided headache. A head CT revealed elongated styloid processes (35 mm in length) on both side. We attempted treatment by navigation-guided transoral resection under general anesthesia.<br/>Left tonsillectomy was performed first. The tip of the styloid process was not palpable through the tonsillar fossa wound, whereas it was easily identifiable by the navigation system. The process was resected to a length of 5 mm. The patient’s symptoms began to improve soon after the resection and resolved completely by 14 days after the surgery.<br/>The advantages of the transoral approach are the limited invasiveness and avoidance of a scar in the neck. The disadvantage is the difficulty of identifying the tip of the styloid process due to the anatomical complexity in the field of surgery. We confirmed that the use of a navigation system is useful to locate the target process with minimal navigation errors.
