title: [Sagittal palatine rugae--a whim of nature?].
abstract: The fact that, for the first time in the Erlangen Orthodontic OPD's inventory of casts, sagittal palatine rugae have been observed in a dental student gave rise to a search of the available publications for a similar finding. As there seems to be no comparable observation in the literature, the case with the palatine rugae arranged in this unique pattern is described.
