Dysphagia Characteristics in High Versus Low Vagal Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 4, Page 1800-1807, April 2026.
High vagal etiology of unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is linked to greater swallowing dysfunction compared to low vagal etiology of UVFP, with higher rates of premature spillage, pharyngeal residue, penetration and aspiration on instrumental swallow assessment; and higher prevalence of diet and behavioral modifications recommended.

Changes in the Height of Velopharyngeal Closure Relative to the Cervical Spine From Infancy Through Adolescence in Patients With Cleft Palate

, 2017
Objective: Palpation is often used to identify C1, an intraoperative landmark, for placement of the pharyngoplasty. However, little is known about the relationship between the palatal plane (PP) and this cervical spine landmark across select variables ...

Defining Pharyngeal and Upper Esophageal Sphincter Disorders on High‐Resolution Manometry‐Impedance: The Leuven Consensus

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
The Leuven Consensus provides a classification scheme for the diagnosis of pharyngeal and upper esophageal sphincter (UES) motor disorders using metrics derived from pharyngeal high‐resolution manometry‐impedance (P‐HRM‐I). These recommendations complement routine instrumental investigations and provide a standardized process, criteria, and ...

Intravelar veloplasty with posterior pillar flap for velopharyngeal insufficiency correction in cleft palate patients: A prospective trial

Journal of Cleft Lip Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies
Introduction: Cleft palate is a very common congenital defect that disrupts velopharyngeal closure leading to some complications such as velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) and hypernasality.
