What causes an itchy roof of the mouth?

I must admit this is something that I'm not familiar with. I've seen angio-oedema - a severe allergy reaction which causes swelling of the lips and tongue - but not a condition which just causes itching of the roof of the mouth. I took comfort from the fact that Sara89022's doctor was stumped too.
