The pterygoid hamulus is a bony process that protrudes from the medial pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone. In spite of its small size and fragile structure, the pterygoid hamulus is an important anatomical structure in many clinical aspects. Orofacial pain may be related to inflammation or irritation of the pterygoid hamulus; if not, other possible explanations should be explored. In addition, the pterygoid hamulus is an important landmark in the oral cavity and is utilized in a number of dental and medical procedures. Thus, the purpose of this work was to review recent studies demonstrating the role and significance of the pterygoid hamulus in clinical practice.
翼钩是从蝶骨翼内侧板突出的一个骨性突起。尽管翼钩体积小且结构脆弱，但在许多临床方面它是一个重要的解剖结构。口面部疼痛可能与翼钩的炎症或刺激有关；若不是，则应探寻其他可能的原因。此外，翼钩是口腔中的一个重要标志，在许多牙科和医疗操作中都会用到。因此，本研究的目的是回顾近期表明翼钩在临床实践中的作用和意义的研究。
