“…In general, when there are abnormalities on the outside of the face, it is very likely that there are abnormalities on the ''inside of the face'', including the velum. Therefore, the observation of facial dysplasia suggests the possibility of velar dysplasia [4,13,14]. An oral examination may reveal asymmetric movement of the velum during phonation.…”

The velopharyngeal valve is responsible for production of oral speech sounds. There are three components to normal velopharyngeal function: anatomy, physiology, and learning. velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) is a condition where the velopharyngeal valve does not close consistently and completely during the production of oral sounds. Velopharyngeal dysfunction can be caused by abnormal anatomy (velopharyngeal insufficiency), abnormal neurophysiology (velopharyngeal incompetence), or particular articulation errors (velopharyngeal mislearning). The purpose of this article is to acquaint the reader with what is required for normal velopharyngeal function. In addition, there will be a discussion of the types of velopharyngeal dysfunction and various causes of each. Implications for treatment and prognosis will be discussed.

“…VPI without CP may be seen in patients with CFM due to hypoplasia of the soft palate muscles or inadequate innervation (hypodynamic palate) 20. In a study by Funayama et al , the hypodynamic palate was reported in 24 out of 48 CFM patients, and moderate VPI developed in seven of these patients 21. In these cases, hypoplasia of the palatal tonsil and fossa in combination with CP were considered predisposing factors for VPI.…”

Craniofacial microsomia is a group of anomalies that occur due to developmental defects in the first and second branchial arches during the embryological period. The disease has various craniofacial and extracraniofacial presentation patterns. Lateral cleft palate is distinct from the most common palate clefts because it is located lateral to the uvula. The presence of a lateral cleft palate has been very rarely reported in the literature, and the aetiopathogenesis of the disease is still not well understood. We aimed to report a case of the coexistence of lateral cleft palate and craniofacial microsomia and discuss the aetiopathogenesis of these diseases.

Velopharyngeal insufficiency in hemifacial microsomia: Analysis of correlated factors

Abstract: Significant correlations were detected between VPI and HFM. This finding should be helpful in the overall management of HFM.
