title: Radiological diagnosis of rhinoscleroma--the 'palatal sign'.
abstract: This paper reports a characteristic radiological finding observed in seven cases of rhinoscleroma with nasal involvement. The soft palate exhibits a marked thickening at its attachment to the hard palate which tapers off towards its free edge. This new sign could be of help in the early diagnosis of this condition.
