The styloid process is a slender elongated bony projection from the norma basalis of the skull. Elongation of the styloid process or ossification of the stylohyoid ligament may produce vague facial pain, throat discomfort, otalgia, dysphagia, and pain along the distribution of the internal and external carotid arteries. Recently, the authors experienced a rare case of tatally ossified stylohyoid ligament which is 8.85 cm in legth, 1.1 cm in diameter and fused to the hyoid bone in a sixty seven-year-old man. So, intraoral and external approaches were performed depending on the size and extent of the process and its areas of articulation. We experienced the other interesting case of styloid process which is palpated in the left posterolateral wall of nasopharynx with excessive medial and anterior angulation in a fourty seven-year-old woman, and so, we had to make insicion on the soft palate for successful excision.
