Larynx-Obstruktion bei familiärem Morbus Recklinghausen

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the nasometer in diagnosing hypernasality in cleft palate patients. For this purpose the results of the nasometric examination of 30 patients with hypernasality were compared with the results obtained by using the currently taught methods. Sensitivity and specificity of nasometry were high with coefficients, respectively, of 0.80 and 1.00. Overall accuracy reached 0.90. Our results, which correspond almost exactly to those obtained in similar Anglo-American studies, demonstrate that also in German-speaking countries the nasometer can be a reliable instrument for diagnosing hypernasality. Moreover, the nasometer presents the possibility of calculating the extent of hypernasality during routine examination and diagnosis.

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the cephalometric measurements and the nasalance scores. Therefore the lateral cephalograms of 44 cleft palate patients were analysed and compared with the nasometric findings. The results revealed significant differences for the maxilla: the SNA angle and the inclination of the palatal plane were significantly related to the occurrence of hypernasality. Furthermore, the length of the soft palate and the ratio Spp-Ad3/Spp-V were found to be essential for the resonance of speech.
