@beachlady - I’m very sorry your styloid has regrown. We’ve had some members who’ve had styloid regrowth. This usually occurs when not enough styloid was removed the first time around though we’ve got at least a couple of members who had literal skull base styloid removal & the darn thing still grew back. Please remind me who did your surgery. Since we don’t know exactly what causes styloid elongation so the cause can be removed along w/ the styloid, it may not have anything to do w/ the surgeon, his/her surgical technique, or how much styloid was removed. I only stated the bit about not enough styloid being removed because in most of our documented regrowth cases, that has been the issue. > [@Regrowth of styloid previously removed to skull base](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/regrowth-of-styloid-previously-removed-to-skull-base/1007): > > Yes, unfortunately, the styloid process can regrow after complete resection back to the skull base. It happened to my son. One year after successful styloid surgery, symptoms returned. Symptoms included glossopharyngeal neuralgia (throat pain and ear pain) and palatal myoclonus. He is only 3 weeks out from a re-section of the same bone and the surgery was successful in that the entire styloid process was removed back to the skull base yet again. However, it proved to be more complicated tha… [https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/search?q=styloid%20regrowth](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/search?q=styloid%20regrowth) and this post which showed up on the forum as I was responding to you: > [@A story of many doctors](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/a-story-of-many-doctors/21877): > > I’m sharing my story to help others make decisions and hopefully have a shorter journey than I have. I had a left intraoral styloid excision in 2011. I was suffering from carotid occlusion with intense headaches and syncope for 2 years before diagnosing myself by sticking my finger down my throat. I then found a surgeon with the help of the doctors I worked with. One of them got Edsel Kim, MD to agree to help me. I experienced immediate relief.
