Description:
Ligamentum stylohyoideum: anterolateral view. The stylohyoid ligament connects the styloid process of the temporal bone with the lesser horn of the os hyoideum. All the aforementioned anatomical structures develop from the cartilage of the second pharyngeal (visceral) arch during embryogenesis. After birth, the cartilaginous structure transforms into the stylohyoid ligament, with ossification beginning at its ends, gradually elongating the styloid process on one side and forming part of the hyoid bone on the other. Latin labels.
