Dominant inheritance of velopharyngeal incompetence

Clinical Genetics, 1981
A family is described in which a girl, two boys and their father showed speech hypernasality. A half‐sib, a grandfather, a great‐aunt, and a cousin of these sibs also showed a similar speech defect. Analysis of recorded speech of the father and three sibs revealed articulation deficiencies in addition to hypernasality.

Treatment of Velopharyngeal Incompetence

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1967
THE OBJECTIVE of cleft palate repair is, of course, not only to correct the embryonic defect but also to establish normal speech. For the sizeable percentage of patients in whom this objective fails, various operative procedures were designed during the past century to correct the residual velopharyngeal incompetence.

Experience with Surgical Management of Velopharyngeal Incompetence

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1988
Accurate mapping of the defect of velopharyngeal closure in patients with velopharyngeal incompetence is paramount to the planning of an operative procedure that will have a successful outcome. Nasoendoscopy and videonasoendoscopy are valuable tools for examination of the abnormal pattern of velopharyngeal movement in patients with velopharyngeal ...

Evaluating Velopharyngeal Incompetence

Journal of Childhool Communication Disorders, 1986
Numerous procedures and techniques for the treatment of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) have been suggested over the past century, and the development of new procedures continues unabated. The emphasis on the success or failure in treatment has been the relative merits of each of these procedures, whether they be surgical, prosthetic, or therapeutic.

Causes of Velopharyngeal Incompetence

Journal of Childhool Communication Disorders, 1986
VPI is a structural or functional aberration of the velum, pharynx, or both that underlies an accompanying speech problem. The onset of VPI may occur anytime during an individual's life but is most prevalent in children between the ages of about 2 through 5 and is typically a sequela of cleft palate.

A Simplified Pneumotachometer for the Quantitative Assessment of Velopharyngeal Incompetence

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2000
By applying pipe flow rate mechanics, the authors have developed a simple and inexpensive device that can measure oral and nasal airflow and pressure quantitatively. It allows clinicians to document objectively the degree of velopharyngeal incompetence and nasal airway obstruction.
