RHEU-MATIC PHARYNGITIS. BIFID UVULA. Bifurcation of the uvula is a very common congenital mal-develop-ment. It is an elementary palatal cleft. The two divisions of theuvula are often quite symmetrical and placed side by side (Fig. 78).In a unique case reported by T. A. DeBlois one uvula was situatedin front of and almost concealed the other. The furrow rarely in-volves the muscular tissue. It seldom has any importance except,as sometimes happens, when one of the segments is so displaced asto cause cough by tickling the pharyngeal wall. In such cases, unless. Fig. 78. Bifid Uvula. the tissues are extremely redundant, the two halves of the uvula mayhe united by denuding their opposed surfaces and bringing themtogether by means of one or two sutures, or if the tissues are inexcess one or the other of the subdivisions may be excised. Other malformations of the soft palate are sometimes seen, suchas absence of the uvula or velum, asymmetry of the palatal arches, 208 NEOPLASMS OF THE VELUM. 20O, and perforation of one of the faucial pillars. In a case of theauthors perforations large enough to admit an ordinary lead penciland unknown to the patient were discovered in each posterior pillarin identical situations. The result of syphilitic ulceration in pro-ducing distortion and adhesions will be elsewhere considered. In-equality of the sides of the palate may be congenital, independentlyof a paretic condition, while the latter is not infrequently observedas a sequel of diphtheria, or as a symptom of cerebral dise
