Imaging revealed an extensively elongated styloid process on the left side. Based on the clinical and radiological findings, a spontaneous fracture of the styloid process with subsequent inflammatory reaction compromising the nearby facial nerve was suspected. Surgical resection of the elongated styloid process was performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three months after surgery, the peripheral left facial palsy, which had shown no preoperative improvement for many weeks, had improved from House\u2013Brackmann grade IV\u00b0 to II\u00b0.
