Velopharyngeal insufficiency

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 1999
Velopharyngeal insufficiency is a niche within our specialty, but patients with hypernasality present who have never been diagnosed previously. Otolaryngologists should be familiar with current trends in diagnosis and treatment of hypernasality.Velopharyngeal insufficiency has been associated with genetic conditions and identifiable syndromes.

It's Time to Define the Global Burden of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency.

The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal
Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) predominantly affects children with cleft palate, undermining their ability to communicate. As a result, intelligible speech generation is one of the most important outcomes following cleft palate repair.

Can MRI Replace Nasopharyngoscopy in the Evaluation of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency?

The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal
Objective To investigate whether flexible nasopharyngoscopy, when performed in addition to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), influences the type of surgery selected or success of surgery in patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI).

Implementation of a Modified Enhanced Recovery Protocol in the Surgical Management of Pediatric Velopharyngeal Insufficiency

FACE, 2022
Background: We have recently shown that the use of a modified enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol in primary cleft palatoplasty decreases perioperative narcotic utilization and length of stay (LOS) while allowing quicker return to oral intake.

Paediatric velopharyngeal insufficiency following adenotonsillar surgery

International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 2021
Paediatric velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is a known but rare complication following adenotonsillar surgery that can have significant adverse effects on the communication as well as psychological well-being of the patient and their family. We sought to assess risk factors, aetiology, assessment and management of these patients through a dedicated ...

Tongue dorsum activity in children with velopharyngeal insufficiency vs. typically developing children

Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics
To investigate whether children with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) exhibit increased elevation and retraction of the tongue dorsum. Two quantitative metrics of tongue dorsum activity: Dorsum excursion Index (DEI) and Tongue Constraint Position Index

Early Cleft Palate Repair is Associated With Lower Incidence of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency Surgery

The Journal of craniofacial surgery (Print)
Background: The timing of primary repair in nonsyndromic cleft palate remains controversial. Recent evidence suggests earlier repair is associated with a lower incidence of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). The authors aim to evaluate these findings in

Velopharyngeal insufficiency following palatine tonsillectomy

European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 1994
Although adenotonsillectomy is usually considered a minor operation, numerous uncommon but severe complications have been described. Even tonsillectomy alone can cause velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). We describe two cases in which severe VPI was noted after palatine tonsillectomy was performed because of recurrent peritonsillar abscesses.
