The average distance between the opening of the stylomastoid foramen and the styloid process is around 0.7 mm or 0.8 mm in adults, but may decrease to around 0.2 mm during aging. [1] The stylomastoid foramen transmits the facial nerve, [2] [3] and the stylomastoid artery. [3] These 2 structures lie directly next to each other. [3]
