Pterygoid hamulus elongation syndrome
2021, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :However, there is another syndrome termed pterygoid Hamulus bursitis (PHB), Bursae are fluid-filled compacted sacs with synovial fluid that acts as a cushion between bones, tendons, joints, and muscles [11,3]. Thereby, (PHB) is due to Bursitis of the tensor veli palatini while in pterygoid hamulus elongation, there is an osteophyte elongation of the pterygoid hamulus [12,1].
