To review the outcomes of children with submucous cleft palate who also have velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI).
A retrospective chart review was carried out at a tertiary care academic centre of all patients who had VPI with a submucous cleft palate. The University of Iowa Cleft Palate registry parameters encompassing nasality (hyper- and hyponasality) were compared pre- and postoperatively.
Preliminary results demonstrate a significant, stable improvement in children who underwent palatal surgery for VPI.
Positive outcomes in the treatment of VPI in the submucous cleft palate population were demonstrated with a combined approach of speech therapy and palatal surgery.
回顾患有黏膜下腭裂且伴有腭咽闭合不全（VPI）的儿童的治疗结果。
在一家三级医疗学术中心对所有患有VPI且伴有黏膜下腭裂的患者进行回顾性病历审查。比较了爱荷华大学腭裂登记处术前和术后包括鼻音（高鼻音和低鼻音）在内的参数。
初步结果表明，接受腭部手术治疗VPI的儿童有显著且稳定的改善。
通过言语治疗和腭部手术相结合的方法，证明了黏膜下腭裂人群中VPI的治疗取得了积极成果。
