I’ve only read the first one so far but it confirms some of what we suggest here as to what causes the styloids to elongate. It’s good that our site & Cleveland Clinic concur!

Interesting, confirms that trauma & surgery can cause ossification which are the most common causes we see on here…& also interesting that they’ve found the process can continue after surgical resection…
