Abstract EN
Objective.
To evaluate measures of the styloid process (SP) in Brazilian dry skulls.
Methods.
This study involves measurements of two points (lateral end posterior views) of 15 dry skulls held by the Morphology Department, Institute of Biological Sciences of Federal University of Minas Gerais.
Results.
There was a large variability for the length of left and right sides (in lateral and posterior views) of the styloid process.
From the lateral view of the left and right styloid, the length of the SP ranged, respectively, from 10.22 mm to 69.73 mm and from 8.30 mm to 63.77 mm.
From a posterior view of the left and right sides of the skulls, the values range, respectively, from 15.57 mm to 69.51 mm and from 15.64 mm to 69.44 mm.
Conclusion.
We believe that this study provides additional information about the frequency of elongated SP among the Brazilian population.
