AB  - OBJECTIVES: To appreciate the value of a simple radiographic incidence and its 
      effectiveness for the search and the measurement of elongated styloid apophysis 
      (ESA) and to recommend it in the routine search of ESA in practice. PATIENTS AND 
      METHOD: This prospective study was realized over a period of 3 years. It involved 
      the study of ESA from conventional radiographic imaging; the face low incidence 
      in comparison with an experimental incidence, the oblique profile chin lift 
      (OPCL). 101 patients presenting with stylalgia were investigated. RESULTS: Out of 
      the 101 patients, the low face cliche found 49 ESA having an average length of 5 
      cm. The OPCL allowed to identify 63 ESA, 54 of which were bilateral and 9 
      unilateral. It also helped identify other associated abnormalities: otitis media 
      (5 cases), dental pathologies (4 cases), dental condensing osteitis (2 cases). 
      The comparative analysis demonstrated a better efficiency of the OPCL in 
      comparison to the standard incidence: the LOW FACE (Roc curve). The OPCL allowed 
      the exposure in one incidence the styloid process and to better appreciate the 
      lower and superior borders of the styloid process giving a better estimate of its 
      measurements. CONCLUSION: It appears from this study that the experimental 
      incidence, the OPCL presents a real interest in the investigation of the ESA but 
      also in the study of the soft tissues of the pharynx, the cervical spine, and the 
      temporo-mastoid region. It also allows the detection of other.
