Abnormal sensation of the pharyngolaryngeal region has been elicited by various local organic lesions and is rarely caused by an abnormality of the uvula. In this paper, a case of elongated uvula is reported. The patient was a thirty five year old female. She complained of abnormal sensation of the pharyngolaryngeal region elicited by touch of the uvula with the tongue. Physical examination revealed an elongated uvula and a slight soft palate palsy on the right side. No other abnormality was observed in the pharyngolaryngeal region. Anemia, autonomic nerve dysfunction and other neurological abnormalities were not observed. Her complaint disappeared after resection of the uvula.
