Velopharyngeal closure analysis using four-dimensional computed tomography: a pilot study of healthy volunteers and adult patients with cleft palate [PDF]

BMC Medical Imaging, 2019
Background Nasopharyngoscopy is a common method to evaluate velopharyngeal closure in patients with cleft palate. However, insertion of a fiberoptic nasopharyngoscope causes discomfort in patients. The aim of this study was to estimate the reliability of

Using the superiorly based pharyngeal flap to surgically manage cleft velopharyngeal insufficiency: a cohort study

Australasian Journal of Plastic Surgery
**Introduction**: The surgical management of velopharyngeal insufficiency is traditionally guided by algorithms based on dynamic imaging, such as nasoendoscopy and video fluoroscopy. In practice, however, surgeons often favour a single surgical technique

Examining Velopharyngeal Closure Patterns Based on Anatomic Variables. [PDF]

J Craniofac Surg, 2017
The purpose of this study was to use three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging to correlate velopharyngeal closure patterns with velopharyngeal anatomic structural characteristics. Thirty-eight participants (18 females and 20 males) between 19 and 32 years of age participated in the study. Participants were evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging

Characterizing Secondary Velopharyngeal Surgery in Children With Cleft Palate at an Academic Center. [PDF]

Laryngoscope
In this retrospective study of children undergoing primary palatoplasty at a single academic institution, 10.8% required secondary surgery for velopharyngeal insufficiency. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that private insurance was associated with decreased odds of secondary surgery, while Asian race was associated with increased odds.
