Physical examination of a 20-year-old male patient suffering from dysphagia revealed an abnormally short and medially displaced palatoglossal arch. The mucosa was released by an inverse V incision, and the palatoglossal muscle was found to be located more laterally and cephalad than its usual insertion, attached to the posterior edge of the hard palate.The muscle was transposed medially and caudally to its normal localization on the soft palate, and the palatoglossal arch was reconstructed by closure of the mucosal incision in an inverse Y manner. The patient’s complaint disappeared and no complications were observed in the postoperative period.
