It is a fibrous cord, which is attached to the tip of the styloid process of the temporal bone and the lesser cornu ( lesser horn ) of the hyoid bone.

Imaging diagnostic techniques can identify a phlebolites, ectopic bone or cartilage, lymph nodes, granulomatous lesions or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament in the context of Eagle syndrome ( elongated styloid process ).
23.
The medial part of the "'lower border "'is thin and sharp; its lateral part splits to enclose the root of the styloid process, and is therefore named the " vaginal process ".
24.
In addition to this broad membrane, there is a rounded fasciculus, superficial to the rest, which reaches from the base of the styloid process of the ulna to the lunate and triangular bones.
25.
A brain scan showed that pressure from a bone called the styloid process, which runs behind the jaw, had caused a tear in the artery that supplies blood to the brain, disrupting the flow.
26.
The Third metacarpal styloid process enables the hand bone to lock into the wrist bones, allowing for greater amounts of pressure to be applied to the wrist and hand from a grasping thumb and fingers.
27.
The head is separated from the styloid process by a depression for the attachment of the apex of the triangular articular disk, and behind, by a shallow groove for the tendon of the extensor carpi ulnaris.
28.
Higher up, it is separated from the external carotid by the styloglossus and stylopharyngeus muscles, the tip of the styloid process and the stylohyoid ligament, the glossopharyngeal nerve and the pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve.
29.
The head is separated from the styloid process by a depression for the attachment of the apex of the triangular articular disk, and behind, by a shallow groove for the tendon of the extensor carpi ulnaris muscle.
30.
The dorsal aspect of its base presents on its radial side a pyramidal eminence, the styloid process, which extends upward behind the capitate; immediately distal to this is a rough surface for the attachment of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle.
