Hyoid bone is a U-shaped bone in the neck originating from the 2nd and 3rd pharyngeal arches. It is situated at the root of the tongue in the front of the neck and between the lower jaw and the largest cartilage of the larynx, or voice box. The stylohyoid complex originates from the 2nd pharyngeal arch and consists of the styloid process, stylohyoid ligament and lesser cornu of the hyoid bone. In this case report, we present a rare case of completely calcified stylohyoid ligament attached to the lesser cornu of an accessory hyoid bone. The case is a good example of extreme development of the stylohyoid complex, which could cause severe pain and significantly restricted head and neck movement.
