Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Anatomy
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Elongation of the pterygoid hamulus is a rare anatomical variation.
  • It can cause significant discomfort and pain in the palate.
  • Diagnosis and management can be challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of pterygoid hamulus elongation causing palatal pain.
  • To describe the successful surgical management of this condition.
  • To review the existing literature on pterygoid hamulus elongation.

Main Methods:

  • Case presentation of a patient with palatal pain and swelling.
  • Diagnostic evaluation including clinical examination and imaging.
  • Surgical intervention to address the elongated pterygoid hamulus.
  • Literature review of similar cases and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with severe left-sided palatal pain and swelling.
  • Elongation of the pterygoid hamulus was identified as the cause.
  • Surgical treatment led to complete resolution of symptoms.
  • Literature review confirmed the efficacy of surgical management.

Conclusions:

  • Elongated pterygoid hamulus is a treatable cause of palatal pain.
  • Surgical intervention is an effective treatment option.
