Background. The goal of primary cleft repair is to attain normality in speech, maxillofacial growth, hearing with avoidance of otitis media, appearance, and occlusion. Development of normal speech with velopharyngeal competence (VPC), one of the most important aspects of cleft treatment, is possible with an anatomically and functionally intact palate. Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) results from abnormal palatal anatomy caused by palatal shortening, scar contracture, insufficient palatal muscle function, and fistulas. VPI manifests as hypernasal vocal resonance, nasal emissions, soft pressure consonants, and compensatory articulation. Treatment of VPI may be conservative (speech therapy or prosthetic devices), surgical, or a combination...
