Silicone rubber impressions and plaster casts were made preoperatively to evaluate the velopharyngeal orifice areas in 91 children with cleft palate aged one year and two months to two years and five months. Cleft width was large in children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) than in children with cleft palate alone (CP). Velopharyngeal orifices were classified into four types based upon their area and shape. It was concluded that the classification might be useful in planning palatoplasty.
术前制作了硅橡胶印模和石膏模型，以评估91例年龄在1岁2个月至2岁5个月的腭裂患儿的腭咽口面积。唇腭裂（CLP）患儿的裂隙宽度大于单纯腭裂（CP）患儿。根据腭咽口的面积和形状将其分为四种类型。得出结论，该分类可能有助于腭裂修复术的手术规划。
