Velopharyngeal incompetence and chromosome 22q11 deletion
Lancet, The, 2001Chromosome 22q11 deletion gives rise to various phenotypes, including cardiac malformations, velopharyngeal abnormalities, absent thymus, and neurological defects. We assessed, in a prospective study, chromosome 22q11 deletion in 50 of 144 patients with velopharyngeal incompetence in the absence of overt clefting.

Regenerative Approach to Velopharyngeal Incompetence with Fat Grafting
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 2015Surgical management of velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI) aims at improving voice resonance and correcting nasal air escape by restoring a competent velopharyngeal sphincter. Assessment of VPI requires the examination of multiple variables. The dynamic study of movements of the velopharyngeal port during speech and the quantification of the closure gap,

Clinical Pediatrics, 1969
Velopharyngeal incompetence (failure of the soft palate to affect closure of the nasopharynx) may result in hypernasal or unintelligible speech, chronic otitis media with secondary conductive hearing loss, or even pseudomental retardation. Such devastating consequences make early diagnosis mandatory.
