Nasopharyngoscopic Evaluation of Velopharyngeal Closure During Speech

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery
Definitive oronasal separation through closure of the velopharyngeal (VP) sphincter is necessary for the development of normal speech and feeding. Individuals with velopharyngeal incompetence or insufficiency often exhibit hypernasal speech, poor speech intelligibility, and nasal regurgitation.

Effect of Adenotonsillectomy on Velopharyngeal Closure Patterns

The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine
Background: For a long time, the hypertrophied tonsils impact on velopharyngeal closure has been a point of concern.Objectives: To identify the alterations in the velopharyngeal valve (VPV) closure patterns following adenotonsillectomy in Arabic- speaking children, to predict the incidence of complications as nasal regurgitation or open nasality ...

Treatment of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency After Cleft Palate Repair Depending on the Velopharyngeal Closure Pattern

Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2011
Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is a common problem after cleft palate repair; secondary surgery may be needed to treat this condition. Pharyngeal flap is usually selected for cases with sagittal closure pattern, and sphincter pharyngoplasty is used for cases with coronal closure pattern, whereas cases with circular closure pattern may be puzzling ...

Velopharyngeal closure in patients with facial paralysis: the fiberscopic examination of the velopharyngeal movements.

The Cleft palate journal, 1981
The present study was intended to clarify the role of the facial nerve in velopharyngeal movement and to determine the pathway of the facial nerve innervating the muscles related to velopharyngeal closure in man. Velopharyngeal function in 100 patients with idiopathic peripheral facial paralysis was analyzed using the nasopharyngeal fiberscope (NPF ...

Videoendoscopic feedback in training velopharyngeal closure.

The Cleft palate journal, 1978
Each of two adolescents with velopharyngeal closure deficits was taught to position him or herself on an endoscope attached to a television camera and to observe the velopharyngeal port during the production of syllables and other units. The videoendoscope was then used as a training apparatus, and each subject was given practice attempting to increase
