ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Identifying substantial data and their normative values related to velopharyngeal structures in cleft palate patients may have clinical significance, in order to selection of surgical intervention and prediction of postsurgical outcomes. Previous studies are lack of referring certain anatomic locations or distances that may have affect on speech intelligibility, especially in dynamic state. The aim of this study is to investigate effectiveness of magnetic resonance imagings on the velopharyngeal sphincter function and the correlation with speech intelligibility after functional cleft palate repair. Seventeen patients with repaired cleft palate by single surgeon were enrolled in this study.Quantitative velopharyngeal measures from the oblique coronal plane and midsagittal plane in static and dynamic positions were collected. Patients' speech intelligibility was evaluated by using Pittsburgh Weighted Speech Scale and nasalance score was also measured. Correlation analysis methods were used for evaluating relation between MRI gathered measurements and speech intelligibility scores for determiningconsequential data.Our study shows that the velar knee-posterior pharyngeal wall distance measurement while explosive sound production is the most related data with speech intelligibility. Although future works with more sample number is needed, according to current study the authors think magnetic resonance imagings is a very helpful method in providing reliable information.
