Notes
TA98 footnote (Fissura tonsillaris; fissura intratonsillaris) A deep cleft in the palatine tonsil which curves parallel to the convex dorsum of the tongue and retrogresses during childhood and puberty. It is not situated above the tonsil and thus the term fossa supratonsillaris, if used in this way, is a misnomer. The term properly refers only to that part of the tonsillar fossa lying above the palatine tonsil.
