Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is a phenomenon that can occur due to anatomical or neurological causes of the soft palate. VPI can make the patient difficult to articulate through hypernasality and nasal emission. There has been needed the customized treatment, as VPI can occur for many causes. We present the case of 21-year-old male who took palate plastic surgery 20 years ago for congenital submucosal cleft palate. As he had poor contraction of both lateral side of velopharynx, he was diagnosed with coronal type VPI. Through sphincter pharyngoplasty, he can obtain improvement of articulation accuracy. We would like to share this challenged case.

구순열 및 구개열은 두개 악안면 부위에서 가장 자주 발생되는 선천성 기형으로 적절한 의료진의 확보와 의료 정책의 수립을 위해서 정착한 환자 수를 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나, 기존의 국내 발생률 추정 연구는 표본선정의 문제점과 이 질환이 갖는 높은 유산율과 사산율 및 다양한 형태로 인한 분류의 어려움과 한국 내에서의 특수성 중 하나인 장애아들의 해외 입양으로 인해 정확한 환자 수의 파악이 어려웠다. 따라서, 한국인에서의 체계적인 유병률 연구가 필요하리라 사료되며, 대부분의 구순열 및 구개열 환자에서 필요한 교정 치료의 수혜 정도를 파악할 필요성이 있다고 사료된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국 성인 남자에서 구순열 및 구개열 환자에 대한 유병률과 이들에 대한 교정치료 수혜율을 조사하고자, 1998년도 병무청 징병 검사자 중 1979년도에 출생한 자만을 연구대상으로 하여 서울, 광주, 대구 부산의 성인 남자 218,322명에 대해 3단계 검사를 실시한 후 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 1979년 생 한국 성인남자에서 구순열 및 구개열 환자의 유병률은 1000명당 0.65명이었다. 2. 전후방적 심도에 따라 1000명당 각각의 유병률은 구순열이 0.26명, 구순구개열이 0.36명,구개열이 0.03명이었다. 구순열과 구순구개열은 비슷한 정도의 유병률을 보였으나, 구개열은 이에 비해 낮은 유병률을 보였다. 3. 횡적 심도에 따라 1000명당 각각의 유병률은 좌측 파열이 0.35명, 우측 파열이 0.16명, 양측 파열이 0.12명이었다. 좌측 파열은 우측 파열에 비해 매우 뚜렷하게 높은 유병률을 보였으며, 양측 파열은 편측 파열에 비해 낮게 나타났다. 4. 구순열 및 구개열 환자 중 성인남자에서의 한국 내 교정치료 수혜율은 $35\%$였으며, 구순열, 구개열, 구순구개열의 순으로 $28\%,\;29\%\;67\%$였다. 구순열이나 구개열과 같이 단독 발생된 경우보다 파열의 심도가 심한 구순구개열의 경우에서 교정치료 수혜율이 높게 나타났다.

A 20 year-old cleft lip and palate patient came for occlusal rehabilitation, but the constricted maxilla and early loss of posterior teeth called for an unusual treatment modalities. Distraction osteogenesis in the edentulous areas followed by artificial bone graft, dental implant along with orthodontic tooth movement were planed. Multidisciplinary treatment enabled both esthetic and functional oral rehabilitation of this patient.

The authors had treated a patient, 54years korean male, with malignant melanoma, egg sized, in the upper left molar region and hard palate. In the patient, radical operation was made by subtotal maxilectomy and prophylactic neck dissection. We could observe complete healing in the patient with malignant melanoma involving upper left molar region and hard palate.

점막하 구개열(submucous cleft palate)은 특징적인 임상적 해부학적 기형을 나타내는데 이분 구개수(bifid uvula), 근육의 분리(muscular diastasis), 경구개 후연의 절흔(frank notching of the posterior hard palate)등이다. 결국 이러한 기형을 교정하지 않으면 과비음과 공명장애로 인한 조음장애는 사회생활에 중요한 영향을 미치고, 사람의 인상에 나쁜 영향을 주게되어 개인의 인성 형성의 장애와 삶의 질의 저하를 초래하게 된다. (중략)

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether CPAP therapy was effective for reducing the degree of hypernasality in individuals with repaired cleft palate and whether the efficacy of CPAP therapy was maintained. Five individuals with cleft palate participated in an 8-week home-based CPAP program. Results from perceptual evaluation of hypernasality and nasalance scores before and after CPAP therapy and at the follow-up speech evaluation were compared. The results of the study showed that the responses of the CPAP therapy were various among individuals. Three individuals exhibited reductions in the degree of perceived hypernasality, while nasalance scores in all individuals decreased after the therapy. The results showed that the effect of CPAP therapy was generally maintained until approximately three months after the completion of CPAP therapy.

Some children with Cleft Palate have shown a speech disorders after repaired surgical operation. A diagnostic evaluation of speech in children with cleft palates is important in preventing speech disorders. However, standard speech evaluation form for children with cleft palates has not yet developed in Korea. The purpose of this study is to make the standard speech evaluation form for children with cleft palates. Thirty control children group and ten children with cleft palate participated in this experiment. The test words are composed of meaningless two syllabic words containing the three different types of korean stop consonants,

Congenital palatal fistulas are rare, and few cases have been reported. Most reported cases present with a submucous cleft palate. In terms of etiology, whether the fistula is congenital or acquired has been debated. Moreover, there is not a generally accepted surgical procedure for repair of palatal fistulas. We present a case of a congenital palatal fistula with a submucous cleft palate that was successfully treated with a Furlow double - opposing Z - plasty. We discuss palatal fistulas with a review of the literature.

Vascular leiomyomas are benign tumors of smooth muscle origin arising from the muscularis layer of blood vessel walls. They can occur anywhere in the body where smooth muscle is found and usually occur in the lower extremity as a slow-growing, firm, occasionally painful mass. However they are rare in the head and neck and very rare in hard palate. Here we report a case of a vascular leiomyoma presenting as a soft mass of the hard palate and review the literatures.

The case unveils an early orthodontic intervention on 3-week old infant innately with bilateral cleft lip and palate. Presurgical Nasoalveolar Molding(PNAM) procedures were carried out for 2 months for the sake to diminish the anticipated strain of postsurgical scar by means of the retraction of protruded premaxilla and the extension of collapsed columella. The gap on the alveolar cleft decreased by 2,5 mm, and the columella manifested 1. 5 mm increase of its length, which yielded the consequent downward and backward movement of premaxilla, and expected to bring down the technical complexity of primary lip surgery. PNAM with sophisticated technical procedures at an optimal timing disclosed the passive molding of the alveolar segments and the formation of nasolabial soft tissue integuments and permitted one-time primary lip surgery.
