Purpose: The present study was designed to investigate the association of ponticulus posticus(PP) and elongated styloid process (ESP) with headaches. Methods: Analysis of head and neck cone beam computed tomography samples from the archivesof the Department of Oral Radiology was done for the presence of partial or completePP and ESP length, type, thickness, mediolateral angulation, anterioposterior angulation (horizontal& vertical), lateral or medial curvature. This was followed by personal & telephonicquestionnaires to the subjects for the evaluation of the presence of headaches & other associatedsymptoms. Results: Among 134 subjects, 62 subjects (46.3%) presented with headache and 72 subjects(53.7%) did not have any headache. On further analysing the total 62 subjects with headache,it was found out that 31 subjects (50.0%) of them had ESP and PP both, 16 subjects (25.8%)had only ESP, and 15 subjects (24.2%) had only PP. A strong association was present betweenheadache and presence of PP & ESP individually and together. Conclusions: All health care professionals dealing with the head and neck pain disordersshould also consider the presence of ESP & PP during diagnosis and treatment.

Sjögren syndrome is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, predominantly the parotid and lacrimal glands, thereby resulting in oral and ocular dryness. It has been reported to occur most frequently in women between 40 and 50 years of age. Sjögren syndrome has an insidious onset, is slowly progressive, and presents a wide range of clinical manifestations, leading to delays or challenges in the diagnosis. Early diagnosis of this condition is essential to prevent the associated complications that affect patients' quality of life. This report presents 3 cases of Sjögren syndrome in female patients aged between 40 and 75 years who presented with complaints of persistent dry mouth and burning sensation. The cases highlight the diagnostic value of 3-dimensional cone-beam computed tomographic sialography in the detection of salivary gland pathologies at an early stage.
