    this article can be included in "otorhinolaryngolgy or dentistry "subject category

    this article only represents IMAGES IN CLINICAL MEDICINE so it is not due original research of the authors.

    there are some dictation mistakes: for example fictitous instead of "factitious"

    this artisle is published in the "images in clinical medicine" section,so it can have less references.

    all the photographs are original,which is a  good point. it was a good brief review about causes of palatal perforation.
