[edit on Wikidata]

The stylohyoid ligament is a ligament that extends between the hyoid bone, and the temporal styloid process (of the temporal bone of the skull).

Anatomy

[edit]

Attachments

[edit]

It attaches at the lesser hornofhyoid bone[1][2] inferiorly,[citation needed] and (the apex of[1]) the styloid process of the temporal bone[1][2] superiorly.[citation needed]

The ligament gives attachment to the superior-most fibres of the middle pharyngeal constrictor muscle.[1]

Relations

[edit]

The ligament is adjacent to the lateral wall of the oropharynx.[1]

Inferiorly, it is adjacent to th hyoglossus.[1]

Clinical significance

[edit]

The stylohyoid ligament frequently contains a little cartilage in its center, which is sometimes partially ossifiedinEagle syndrome.[3]

Other animals

[edit]

In many animals, the epihyal is a distinct bone in the centre of the stylohyoid ligament, which is similar to that seen in Eagle syndrome.[citation needed]
