Nasopharyngeal Pushback in Treatment of Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1976We describe a new technique for extensive retropositioning of the soft palate for the treatment of velopharyngeal insufficiency. This technique is identified as a nasopharyngeal pushback, and has been used repeatedly in conjunction with both a Cronin nasal flap and a superiorly based pharyngeal flap when maximum retropositioning was needed.

Prosthodontics Rehabilitation in Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
2015When surgical correction is less than successful or when children are poor candidates for surgery due to a large gap, a neuromuscular cause of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), a strong gag reflex, or unfavorable anatomy, prosthetic intervention can result in the elimination of VPI.

Velopharyngeal insufficiency following palatine tonsillectomy
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 1994Although 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.

Otologic Manifestations in Congenital Velopharyngeal Insufficiency
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1989A study of ear disease in children with congenital velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) was undertaken. A retrospective chart analysis of 80 cases of VPI formed the basis of this review. Thirty-seven percent of the children had evidence of middle ear disease, with middle ear effusion and recurrent otitis media being the most frequent findings. Thirty-one

Velopharyngeal insufficiency on videofluoroscopy: comparison of projections
American Journal of Roentgenology, 1986A prospective study of multiview videofluoroscopy was performed on 50 patients with clinically suspected velopharyngeal insufficiency to determine which views are helpful, so that radiation dosage might be reduced. The lateral view alone was insufficient: In 11 patients, velopharyngeal insufficiency was demonstrated on the basal or Towne view when the ...

Anatomy and Physiology of Velopharyngeal Closure and Insufficiency
2015The velopharynx is a complex structure that is responsible for separation of the oral and nasal cavities during speech production and swallowing. Incompetence of this mechanism can lead to hypernasality, with nasal air emission and incomprehensible speech, as well as nasopharyngeal regurgitation. There can be a significant social stigma associated with

[Velopharyngeal insufficiency in children].
Revue medicale suisse, 2018Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) represents an incomplete closure between the soft palate and the posterior pharyngeal wall. Its etiology can be anatomical (cleft palate), neurologic, or iatrogenic (after adenoidectomy). The evaluation of a VPI begins with a through speech and language assessment and can be complemented by instrumental investigations.
