Anatomical and Physiological Changes Following Primary Palatoplasty Using the Buccal Flap Approach
(East Carolina University, 2021-04-14)Individuals born with cleft palate typically undergo primary palatoplasty between 6-12 months of age to repair their palate. Traditional primary palatoplasty surgical techniques include the V-Y pushback, the intravelar ... -
Normative Velopharyngeal Data in Infants: Implications for Treatment of Cleft Palate
(2016)Identifying normative data related to velopharyngeal muscles and structures may have clinical significance for infants born with cleft palate, especially as they relate to selection of surgical intervention and post-surgical ... -
Variations in Craniofacial and Velopharyngeal Structures Among Individuals with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)22q11.2 deletion syndrome is the most common genetic cause of velopharyngeal dysfunction. Studies examining 22q11.2 deletion syndrome have thus far primarily focused on variations in the bony framework. Limited information ... -
Variations in velopharyngeal structure and function in adults with normal and cleft anatomy.
(East Carolina University, 2015)Examination of velopharyngeal (VP) muscle differences among adults with cleft palate is limited. Dynamic assessment of the VP muscles have predominantly been during rest or sustained phonation. The purpose of this study ...
