Objective: To explore the clinical features, diagnosis and therapy of pterygoid hamulus syndrome.
Method: Nine cases of pterygoid hamulus syndrome were retrospectively analysed in history, signs and therapy.
Result: The pharyngeal pain and foreign body sensation were disappear or straighten up after treatment. The rates of efficacy and cure were 100.0% and 66.7%.
Conclusion: The clinic manifestation of pterygoid hamulus syndrome is not typical. Signs, local close therapy, X ray and CT may be suitable technique for the diagnosis. Surgical resection is a simple, safe and effective method for treatment of pterygoid hamulus syndrome.

Morphometric Evaluation of the Greater Palatine Foramen in Patients With Cleft lip and Palate (CLP) and Controls: A CBCT Study.
Cleft Palate Craniofac J

Student Research Committee, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, School of Dentistry, Shiraz, Iran.
Objective: This study aimed to use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans to compare the morphometric characteristics of the greater palatine foramen (GPF) in unilateral and bilateral cleft lip/palate patients (CL/P) and non-cleft (NC) individuals.
Method And Material: One hundred patients with CL/P (78 unilateral and 22 bilateral) and 100 non-cleft individuals had their GPF morphometrically assessed in CBCT images. The antero-posterior width and medio-lateral width of the GPF, the distance between the right and left GPFs, the mesio-distal location of the GPF with respect to the molar teeth, the distance between the GPF and the hamulus of the medial pterygoid plate, and the distance between the GPF and the palatine alveolar ridge were measured on these images.

Introduction: Cleft palate, a common congenital craniofacial defect, requires surgical repair and many surgical approaches have been employed for the same to reduce the risk of post-operative complications and improve outcomes. In order to achieve tension free closure, fracture of pterygoid hamulus has been advised. However, the effect of this manoeuvre on auditory functions remains debatable.

Background: Current anatomical knowledge of the origin of the bucinator muscle (BM), i.e., long thin attachments on the maxilla and mandible and the pterygomandibular raphe (PMR), is not supported by anatomical dissection of this muscle.

Stertor, a clinical sign associated with obstructive airway syndrome, is often observed in non-brachycephalic dogs. This prospective, case-control study aimed to compare soft palate dimensions, nasopharyngeal cross-sectional area (CSA), and nasopharyngeal collapsibility at various locations in non-brachycephalic dogs with and without stertor. A total of 50 dogs were recruited and stratified into control (n = 34) and stertor (n = 13) groups.

Introduction: The pterygoid hamulus (PH), as a small and curved projection of the sphenoid bone, occupies a unique position at the skull base. Given its functional relation with the surrounding anatomical structures, the study of this rather underrepresented structure in the literature assumes paramount importance.
Materials And Methods: We examined a total of 87 pterygoid hamuli (50 right-sided and 37 left-sided) out of a sample of 114 dry skulls.
