The Nasoendoscopy Study of Velopharyngeal Closure Patterns in Normal Thai Volunteers
The purpose of this study is to assess patterns of velopharyngeal closure in normal Thai subject. Ten volunteers with normal speech and no history of cranio-maxillo-facial abnormality, injury or surgery were included in this study. Their velopharyngeal closures were reviewed by nasopharyngoscopy....
