Eagle's syndrome is often associated with elongated styloid process or ossified stylohyoid or stylomandibular ligament. Patients with this syndrome present with recurrent cervicofacial pain. Surgical removal of the elongated styloid process is a standard treatment and can be accomplished through either a transoral or extraoral approach. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages, and the best surgical approach remains controversial. In our case, the elongated styloid process was removed by transoral approach assisted by endoscopy. Endoscopy provides clear surgical view thus lessen the chance of neurovascular injury and other intraoperative complications. Endoscopy-assisted transoral resection is an optional alternative surgical procedure for Eagle's syndrome.

Division of Oral Radiology, School of Dentistry, Federal University of Ceará, Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the styloid process (TBSP) phenotype and to identify suggestive images of calcified atheromatous plaques (CAP) in panoramic radiographs of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and post-surgical hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT). Additionally, it aimed to analyze the association between the bone mineral status of patients with parathyroid diseases and the radiographic findings.
Material And Methods: A cross-sectional case-control study was conducted with individuals diagnosed with PHPT (n = 25) and post-surgical hypoPT (n = 25).

Superficial palmar branch of radial artery flap for digital skin reconstruction: anatomical study and clinical applications.
Surg Radiol Anat
December 2024
Faculty of Medicine, Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the superficial palmar branch of the radial artery (SUPBRA) to improve techniques for reconstructing palmar skin, focusing on its anatomy and harvesting methods.
- Researchers dissected 19 male hand specimens to gather detailed anatomical data, including dimensions and positions of key structures related to SUPBRA, analyzing how best to utilize this flap in reconstruction efforts.
- Results indicated that the SUPBRA has adequate dimensions for viability in surgical applications, with specific measurements and the identification of critical vascular contributions that ensure successful use in cases of hand injury.
