“…Moreover, the soft palate resection may cause velopharyngeal insufficiency, which is a disability to close the velopharyngeal space. 13 In the presented case, the follow�up examination 10 months after the surgery showed preserved function of the palate. The patient's symptoms disappeared ( Figure 2).…”

“…Available surgical options are: intraoral, transcervi� cal, submandibular�transcervical or transmandibular ap� proach. 9,13 In the presented case, the choice of the surgical technique was implied by the lack of histopathological di� agnosis. Due to a high probability of benign lesion, mass within the pharynx was qualified for an extended biopsy.…”

Introduction: Hamartoma is a developmental disorder. Aim: The aim of this study is to present a case of hamartoma of naso- and oropharynx and discuss the possible surgical approaches. Case study: A a 55-year-old male patient, who had undergone a tracheotomy due to increasing breathing difficulties was admitted to Head and Neck Diseases Clinic in the Clinical University Hospital in Olsztyn with the aim of proceeding further. Results and discussion: The parapharyngeal space is divided into the prestyloid and the retrostyloid compartment.Tumours of parapharyngeal space are responsible for 1% of head and neck tumours; 80% of these tumours are benign lesions, most often originating from the parotid gland (50% of all the cases). Conclusions: The treatment of choice for benign lesions like the hamartoma is a surgical resection. It is important to choose a suitable surgical approach considering morphotic parameters of a tumour, anatomic and topographic conditions.

“…Three articles had larger sample sizes, including 1726, 2527, and 38 cases28. Abdel-Azziz26 described a new procedure involving surgical dissection of the posterior faucial pillars and vertical segments of superior constrictor muscle bilaterally that were then inserted into incisions laterally in the soft palate in an attempt to increase velar motion based on hypothetical assumptions of synergistic and antagonistic contributions of the superior constrictor and palatopharyngeus.…”

“…Abdel-Azziz26 described a new procedure involving surgical dissection of the posterior faucial pillars and vertical segments of superior constrictor muscle bilaterally that were then inserted into incisions laterally in the soft palate in an attempt to increase velar motion based on hypothetical assumptions of synergistic and antagonistic contributions of the superior constrictor and palatopharyngeus. The results were reported in two ways, one utilizing an accurate description of the outcome, and a second describing “improvement.” Of the 17 cases, only 9 (53%) had complete elimination of VPI, but the article cited an 88% “improvement” rate because several patients went from moderately hypernasal to mildly hypernasal or severely hypernasal to moderately hypernasal.…”

Purpose of Review-Journal articles relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) were reviewed. All articles ascertained by PubMed search were included.Recent Findings-Articles reported on the application of magnetic resonance scanning, reliability tests of the International Working Group diagnostic protocol, the use of nasometry, and techniques designed to assess the function of the velopharyngeal mechanism. Treatment papers focused on outcomes in small samples of cases and complication rates from pharyngeal flap. One paper discussed ineffective speech therapy procedures.Summary-There were relatively few papers this past year. Those that were published were hindered by small and heterogeneous sample sizes, and occasionally by inappropriate methods for assessing outcomes. None of the findings will have a major impact on the current state-of-the-art for diagnosis of VPI. The speech therapy paper has a very important message that should be taken to heart by all clinicians involved in the management of children with clefts and craniofacial disorders.
