Styloidectomy

Dr. Vibhor Malhotra performs Styloidectomy to treat Eagle’s Syndrome — a condition caused by an elongated styloid process leading to throat and facial pain.

What is it?
It involves surgical shortening or removal of the elongated styloid process, a small bone near the base of the skull.

Why does it happen?
Eagle’s Syndrome may cause chronic throat pain, difficulty swallowing, or earache due to nerve compression.

Procedure:
Dr. Malhotra approaches the styloid process either through the mouth or an external neck incision, depending on the case. The bone is shortened or removed, relieving symptoms and restoring comfort.
