Surgical Management of Velopharyngeal Dysfunction

Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America
Velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) is caused by inadequate closure of the velopharyngeal port. VPD can hinder a child's ability to communicate and can impact his/her quality of life. Evaluation of children with VPD is often completed in a multidisciplinary setting and often involves studies that allow for the visualization of the velopharyngeal closure ...
