Velopharyngeal incompetence has previously been described in the late stages of myotonic dystrophy. However, we have seen three cases in which velopharyngeal incompetence was the presenting symptom. Despite different ethnic backgrounds, the patients shared a similar appearance, all three had the
BACKGROUND
In the past decade, there has been increased utilization of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating and understanding velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). To our knowledge, none of the prior studies with MRI has simultaneously linked the audio recordings of speech during cine MRI
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of an intensive 10-week course of articulation therapy on articulation errors in cleft lip and palate patients who have Velopharyngeal Insufficiency (VPI), non-oral and passive cleft speech characteristics.
METHODS
Five children with
Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) and DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) are developmental disorders characterized by a spectrum of phenotypes including velopharyngeal insufficiency, conotruncal heart defects and facial dysmorphology among others. Eighty to eighty-five percent of VCFS/DGS patients are
Two methods of primary palatal repair were compared for the effect that they had on the speech of 6 year old children with cleft (lip and) palate. A Veau-Wardill-Kilner V to Y pushback operation was done for 43 children (group V) and the Cronin modification for 60 children (group C) between the ages
Eight patients who presented velopharyngeal incompetence and who spontaneously alternated between oral and glottal stop articulation were cineradiographically examined in lateral and frontal projections to compare their oral stops and glottal stop substitutions. A cineradiographic frame-by-frame
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to investigate the effects of glottal stop productions (GS) on voice in children with cleft palate using multidimensional voice assessment methods.
METHODS
This is a prospective case-control study.
METHODS
Children with repaired cleft palate (n = 34) who did not have any vocal
