• Surgical Procedure

  Your surgeon will determine if you or your child is a candidate for a surgery and will determine which surgical procedure can provide the best outcome. Often speech therapy is also needed. [tahiriplasticsurgery.com]

  In ten studies the outcomes of multiple surgical procedures were reported. In three of these studies the speech assessor was blinded to the surgical procedure [24], [45], [46]. [journals.plos.org]

  The surgical procedure to be used depends on the treatment protocol and type of defect detected by nasofibroscopy. [rbcp.org.br]

  There are several surgical procedures that can be performed to correct the physical malfunction. They include: Pharyngeal flap procedure that moves the skin flap from the pharynx to the soft palate. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  Posterior pharyngeal flap — This surgical procedure involves taking tissue from the back of the throat and attaching it to the soft palate. This prevents air from leaking out of the nose during speech. [chop.edu]

• Decrease in Height

  Decreased posterior height of maxilla was seen in the cleft group as compared to the non cleft group. Length of maxilla was smaller and retropositioned in cleft as compared to non-cleft. [jisppd.com]

• Cleft Lip and-or Palate

  Treatment for Older Children Cleft lip or cleft palate treatment can be fine-tuned for older children. [dukehealth.org]

  RESULTS Twenty patients with cleft lip and cleft palate aged 5 to 60 years (average: 23.1 years) underwent palatoplasty with buccal flaps. [rbcp.org.br]

  Although cleft lips and palates are not regularly seen in general dental practice, their number is not negligible. [sidj.org]

Workup Doppler echocardiography to estimate severity of AR, confirmed by aortography. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

If velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) is identified, a VPD workup, including nasopharyngoscopy and video fluoroscopy, is performed. If the degree of VPD is significant, speech therapy is undertaken at approximately 3 years of age. [plasticsurgerykey.com]

Management and Outcome As manometry of the pharynx is not widely available, and as manometry is necessary to detect failed UES relaxation, the initial workup of the patient with suspected failed UES relaxation is similar to that of any case of presumed [nature.com]

Indication of surgical treatment should be decided according to the results of these treatments. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

Prognosis The combination of surgery to correct the insufficiency and speech therapy to retrain the voice successfully alleviate velopharyngeal insufficiency. Key terms Adenoids — Lymph glands just above the tonsils and the palate. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

With consideration of commonly poor treatment compliance of children, this rate was quite high and it suggests that early intensive treatment could improve the prognosis. [jkamprs.springeropen.com]

Almost half of all cleft palates have a syndromic cause; the most common syndrome is VCF syndrome (del 22q11.2). [13] VPD occurs in approximately 20% of children who undergo palatoplasty. [14] Prognosis Several studies have been published in support of [thehealthscience.com]

A family history may reveal other affected individuals, also pointing to a genetic etiology. [thehealthscience.com]

An overview of common etiologies follows. Overt cleft palate, either before or after repair, is by far the most common cause of VPD. This condition occurs in approximately 1 of 2000 live births. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Causes [ edit ] While cleft is the most common cause of VPI, other significant etiologies exist. [en.wikipedia.org]

Ultrasound waves break up the stones, and the fragments flush out of the salivary duct. [ 2 ] Diseases of Uncertain Etiology Chronic nonspecific parotitis: This term is generally used for patients in whom no definite etiology is found. [thefullwiki.org]

Epidemiology Because VPD is multifactorial, the frequency is unknown. For functional causes, determining the frequency is impossible, because some etiologies are acquired and some are congenital. [thehealthscience.com]

In the other hand, the pathophysiology of the speech of labiopalatine cleft affected is well described and referenced in the literature. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

Pathophysiology Oral resonance (as contrasted to nasal resonance) is obtained by means of VPC, which creates a seal between the nasopharynx and the oral cavity. [thehealthscience.com]

Pathophysiology of Regurgitation There are a number of candidate mechanisms of esophagopharyngeal regurgitation ( Table 2 ). [nature.com]
