IJV, styloidectomy

There are two nerves that cause pain in the face when they are irritated by elongated styloids - Facial & Trigeminal. The TN can also cause pressure at the front of your head & can cause terrible headaches as well. The images below will help you to see the areas in the face they cover. Many of our members have had facial pain/pressure that resolved once their styloids were removed.
