The palatine aponeurosis a thin, firm, fibrous lamella[1] which gives strength[2] and support to soft palate.[3] It serves as the insertion for the tensor veli palatini and levator veli palatini, and the origin for the musculus uvulae, palatopharyngeus, and palatoglossus.[4]

The palatine aponeurosis is attached to the posterior margin of the hard palate.[2][5] It is thicker anteriorly and thiner posteriorly. Posteriorly, it blends with the posterior muscular part of the soft palate. Posteroinferiorly, it presents a cruved free margin from which the uvula is suspended.[2] Laterally, it is continuous with the pharyngeal aponeurosis.[1]
