Hyoid Bone Malformation Confirmed by 3-Dimensional Computed Tomography

Christian Sittel, MD; Hans-Georg Brochhagen, MD; Hans E. Eckel, MD; Olaf Michel, MD

Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 1998;124:799-801.

We describe the case of a young woman with pain on turning her head attributable to a malformation of the hyoid bone. Diagnosis was established using spiral computed tomography with the patient's neck in the position of greatest discomfort and with 3-dimensional reconstruction of the hyoid bone. Prior conventional radiography and magnetic resonance imaging did not aid in finding a diagnosis. After surgical removal of both greater cornua of the hyoid bone there was a complete relief of symptoms.
