Incidental finding of a bilateral complete ossification of stylo‐hyoid chain and thyro‐hyoid ligaments

Abstract

Abstract Ossification of stylohyoid chain corresponds to the ossification of stylohyoid ligament that can vary from thin short to thick long ossification and can be associated with other calcifications. We report in this case a bilateral non painful complete ossification of the stylohyoid complex extended to the thyrohyoidien ligament.
