Thorus palatinus
We meet the first indications of thorus palatinus in Huschke in Eingeweidelehre Sommering’s Leipzig 1844: Along the median line of the hard palate, especially in old people, sometimes a bony eminence appears along the palatine suture. Richet in Traité pgas-tique d'anatomie médicochirurgicale (2nd ed. 1860 an. P. 396) points further to Chassaignac, which supposedly recognizes for the torus “a great family significance in the sense” of recognizing syphilis.
