The report on 4 cases of the styloid process syndrome seems remarkable because of the rarity of this syndrome. In case of complaints of doubtful origin and mainly characterized by pain radiating to the tongue, the styloid process should also be taken into consideration. The diagnosis is confirmed by palpating the styloid process along the mandibular ramus and by radiography. Treatment consists in removing the styloid process by operation.
