Killian's dehiscence (also known as Killian's triangle, Laimer triangle, Laimer-Killian triangle, or Laimer-Haeckermann area) is a triangular area in the wall of the pharynx between the thyropharyngeus part of the inferior constrictor of the pharynx and the cricopharyngeus muscle, also of the inferior constrictor muscle of the pharnyx (also see Pharyngeal pouch).
Perhaps the most amusing description is to be found in Dead Men’s Morris (1936), where she has “the maternal anxiety of a boa-constrictor which watches its young attempting to devour their first donkey”!
