Vietnamese has a unique phonological system that differs from English and other Indo-European languages. The speech characteristics of Vietnamese children with CP, however, have not been thoroughly explored. This study aimed to investigate the speech and resonance characteristics of Vietnamese children with repaired CP who attended a speech evaluation clinic in Hanoi, Vietnam.MethodSeventy-two monolingual Vietnamese children with repaired CP, aged 3 to 12 years, participated in the study. Resonance, cleft-related errors, phonological errors, and speech production accuracy were examined. In particular, cleft-related errors and phonological errors were analyzed separately for word-initial and word-final positions. A database of 63 typically developing Vietnamese children was used to compare speech production accuracy.ResultsBoth language-common and language-specific characteristics were identified. Most Vietnamese children with repaired CP in this study demonstrated persistent abnormal resonance and lower articulation skills than their typically developing peers. Nasal air emission and cleft-related speech errors primarily occurred in the word-initial position, whereas the most frequent type of errors in the word-final position were developmental errors. This language-specific characteristic was likely due to the Vietnamese phonotactic constraints.ConclusionsLanguage-common and language-specific speech characteristics in Vietnamese children with CP may improve our understanding of CP speech. These error patterns are especially beneficial for Vietnamese speech therapists worldwide when assessing and treating children with CP who speak Vietnamese.</p>","PeriodicalId":49220,"journal":{"name":"Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal","volume":" ","pages":"10556656251340251"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144163223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to explore the effects of hamulotomy on middle ear pressure and eustachian tube dysfunction, a critical factor in maintaining proper ear function and hearing.Material and MethodologyA total of 24 patients under the age of 3 were recruited for the study and underwent primary palatoplasty. Patients were assigned randomly to either have hamulotomy or not have hamulus fracture preoperatively. Middle ear pressure, ear canal volume, compliance, reflex, and eustachian tube function was assessed pre- and post-operatively in patients undergoing primary palatoplasty using impedance audiometry. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test, McNemar's change test, and Mann-Whitney <i>U</i> test, with a significance level set at <i>P</i> ≤ 0.05.ResultsOtoscopy revealed that there was no significant difference in the improvement of middle ear status between the groups. Additionally, there was no significant difference in impedance audiometry results in either group.

The primary approach for treating severe VPI is surgical intervention, most commonly through pharyngeal flap procedures. Although the pharyngeal flap has been considered the gold standard for the correction of VPI, recent studies have raised concerns about its safety, particularly due to significant complication rates. The pharyngeal flap is elevated above prevertebral fascia, which is anatomically proximate to both the clivus and the internal carotid artery. Various midline anomalies may coexist in patients presenting with isolated cleft palate and syndromic features, such as the case described here. We present the case of an 18-year-old female with atypical craniofacial features who underwent a pharyngeal flap procedure for VPI. Intraoperatively, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage was encountered but successfully managed with purse-string sutures. Postoperative imaging revealed pneumocephalus without active CSF leakage. Clinically, no postoperative CSF leakage was detected. The patient was discharged after antibiotics and showed significant speech improvement, with no neurological complications. This case highlights challenges and critical management strategies for complex craniofacial anatomy in pharyngeal flap surgery. In selected patient populations, preoperative computed tomography or magnetic resonance cisternography can help mitigate the risk of complications such as CSF leakage or injury to the internal carotid artery during the elevation of pharyngeal flap.
