Cleft Palate J. 1980 Apr;17(2):132-7.
Twenty-two patients with the Facio-Auriculo-Vertebral Malformation Complex (hemifacial microsomia) were examined with multi-view videofluoroscopy and nasopharyngoscopy at rest and during speech. Fifty-five per cent of the subjects had velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) and hypernasal speech. Only two of these 12 subjects had cleft palate. VPI was related to structural and physiological asymmetry of the pharynx. No relationship was found between the severity of facial malformation and the presence of VPI.
对22例患有面-耳-椎骨畸形综合征（半侧颜面短小畸形）的患者在静息状态和言语过程中进行了多视角视频荧光透视检查和鼻咽镜检查。55%的受试者存在腭咽闭合不全（VPI）和鼻音过重的语音问题。这12名受试者中只有2人患有腭裂。VPI与咽部的结构和生理不对称有关。未发现面部畸形的严重程度与VPI的存在之间存在关联。
