Sažetak
Variations of the medial and iinferior choanal limits may facilitate snoring. These are:short vomer without crista choanalis vomeris and adaptional formations, 2) extremely concave posterior margin of the hard palate leading to disproportion between the muscular and aponeurotic part of m. tensor veli palatini and hence to a flabby soft palate especially during sleep., and 3.) neonatal relation of the height and widthof the choanae resulting in a very largechoanal region instead of relative reduction of choanal width compared to its increasing height. All these variations result in a flabby soft palate especially during sleep and may lead to formation of whirles of inspired air and snoring.
