Abstract

The treatment of stylalgia varies from region to region. The initial treatment for stylalgia is conservative and if not relieved, styloidectomy is advised. Styloid process fracture has also given favorable results in many patients. We are presenting a rare case of a 45-year-old man who accidentally fractured his own styloid process and got relieved of stylalgia. According to our research, this is probably the first case in the world. In this case report, the authors also discuss the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis of stylalgia and various lines of management for stylalgia.
