Is There A Treatment Available For Styloid Process Elongation?
One of my cousins is suffering from rare problem called styloid process elongation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_syndrome) Doctors in Delhi (including AIIMS) said that treatment is not possible in India. The only treatment seems to be a surgery. The condition being rare, and symptoms being rarer, they might be right about not many cases reported in India. But I am still hoping to find a specialist or some super specialty hospital who would offer some more insight and possibly even do the surgery. Any pointers of where we could go?
