A rare case of an unusual sinus within the styloid process is described. Th e radiological appearance of this malformation is presented with CT-scans a nd a hypothesis for its development is presented. The malformation is desig nated as "Recessus processus styloidei" and this entity is considered to be a dysgenesis of the second branchial arch.
