Abstract

This report describes 7 patients with hypernasal speech associated with neurofibromatosis. Multi-view videofluoroscopic and nasopharyngoscopic examinations of the velopharyngeal sphincter showed a variety of velopharyngeal valving failures amongst the 7 patients. Extensive evaluation failed to find the pathogenesis of velopharyngeal insufficiency in these patients.
