The central portion of the tympanic part is thin, as it gives rise to the bony inner two-thirds of the ear canal, and in 5 - 20% of skulls the lower surface is perforated by a hole, the foramen of Huschke [1] that opens onto the temporomandibular joint due to incomplete fusion of the anterior and posterior prominences during development.
Incomplete fusion of the palatine raphe results in a congenital defect known as cleft palate. The pharyngeal raphe joins the left and right pharyngeal constrictors. The perineal raphe extends from the anus, through the mid-line of the scrotum (scrotal raphe), and upwards through the ventral mid-line aspect of the penis (penile raphe) in males.

This variation is usually present at the lower one-third of the sternal body.It has an oval shape and a unique "bow tie" appearance when seen on axial computed tomography.
