No significant difference was found between male and female patients in terms of styloid process types. (p> 0.05)Conclusion: Styloid calcification increases with age, but only 3 patients with calcification showed symptoms and Eagle syndrome was diagnosed.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Aim: The aim of present study was to determine the prevalence of the styloid process type in the Turkish Cypriot population on panoramic radiography and to evaluate Eagle syndrome.Materials and Method: Panoramic images of a total of 3000 patients (1500 males, 1500 females) between the ages of 18-87 (mean age 32.6) who referred to our clinic for various reasons were retrospectively evaluated.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The classification was made by dividing patients with calcification into 7 subgroups according to the length of the styloid process (SP) and into 3 subgroups in accordance with the pattern of the elongation of the styloid process as an elon-gated styloid process (type I), pseudoarticular styloid process (type II) and segmented styloid process III).
💡

Abstract

Aim: The aim of present study was to determine the prevalence of the styloid process type in the Turkish Cypriot population on panoramic radiography and to evaluate Eagle syndrome.Materials and Method: Panoramic images of a total of 3000 patients (1500 males, 1500 females) between the ages of 18-87 (mean age 32.6) who referred to our clinic for various reasons were retrospectively evaluated. The classification was made by dividing patients with calcification into 7 subgroups according to the length of the styloid process (SP) and into 3 subgroups in accordance with the pattern of the elongation of the styloid process as an elon-gated styloid process (type I), pseudoarticular styloid process (type II) and segmented styloid process III). The relationship between age, gender and SP types was determined.Results: Elongated styloid process was detected in a total of 1600 patients (789 males, 811 females) in all radiographs examined, 3 cases (2 males, 1 female) of them were symptomatic and diagnosed with Eagle syndrome. Type 2 was the most common styloid process type with an incidence of 41.7%, and the least common type was Type 5 with an incidence of 1.9%. Elongated SP prevalence was found to be 53.3% in our study group. No significant difference was found between male and female patients in terms of styloid process types. (p> 0.05)Conclusion: Styloid calcification increases with age, but only 3 patients with calcification showed symptoms and Eagle syndrome was diagnosed.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı panoramik radyografi üzerinde Kıbrıs Türk popülasyonunda sty-loid proçesin tiplerinin ve kalsifikasyonlarının prevalansını belirlemek ve Eagle sendromu varlığını değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çeşitli sebeplerden dolayı kliniğimize başvuran 18-87 yaş aralığındaki (ortalama yaş 32.6) toplam 3000 hastanın (1500 erkek, 1500 kadın) panoramik görüntüleri retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Hastalar styloid proçesin (SP) uzunluğuna göre 7 alt gruba ve kalsifikasyon görülen hastalarda ise styloid proçesin uzama şekline göre ise uza-mış styloid proçes (tip I), psödoartiküler styloid proçes (tip II) ve segmente styloid proçes (tip III) olmak üzere 3 alt grupta sınıflandırılması yapılmıştır. Yaş, cinsiyet ve SP tipleri arasın-daki ilişki belirlenmiştir. Bulgular: İncelenen tüm radyografilerde toplam 1600 hastada uzamış SP (789 erkek, 811 kadın) tespit edilmiştir, bunlardan 3 vaka (2 erkek, 1 kadın) semptomatik olup Eagle send-romu tanısı konulmuştur. %41.7’lik görülme oranı ile Tip 2 en sık rastlanan styloid proçes tipi, en az görülen tip ise %1.9 görülme oranı ile Tip 5 olarak bulunmuştur. Uzamış SP prevalansı çalışma grubumuzda % 53.3 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Kadın ve erkek arasında sty-loid proçes tipleri açısından anlamlı bir farklılık bulunamamıştır. (p>0.05)Sonuç: Styloid proçes kalsifikasyonu yaşla birlikte artmaktadır ancak kalsifikasyon görülen hastalardan sadece 3’ünde semptom görülmüş olup Eagle sendromu tanısı konulmuştur.
