Differential Diagnosis of a Pharyngeal Fricative and Therapeutic Monitoring of Velopharyngeal Function Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Purpose: Speech disorders associated with velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) are common. Some require surgical management, while others are responsive to speech therapy. This is related to whether the speech error is obligatory (passive) or compensatory (active). Accurate identification of speech errors is necessary to facilitate timely and appropriate intervention. Recent studies have supported the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the assessment process for VPD. The purpose of this study was to utilize MRI to support differential diagnosis and treatment planning in a child presenting with inconsistent nasal air escape, mild hypernasality, and compensatory speech errors.
Method: A nonsedated, fully awake, velopharyngeal (VP) MRI protocol was implemented to acquire anatomic data at rest and during phonation. Segmentations and visualization of the tongue, palate, adenoids, and nasopharyngeal airway were completed. Anatomic linear measurements were obtained for VP variables to assess VP function, establish a baseline, and monitor change over time.
Results: VP anatomy was successfully visualized on MRI in multiple imaging planes. All anatomic measurements fell within normative expectations. Elevation and retraction of the soft palate occurred against the adenoid pad. A pharyngeal fricative was documented, resulting a small VP gap during speech. In contrast, adequate VP closure was obtained for vowels and other oral consonant sounds.
Conclusions: Quantitative assessment and visualization of the anatomy demonstrated adequate VP closure capabilities and a pharyngeal fricative substitution that had not been adequately perceived during routine clinical assessments. This study suggests a promising additive role for VP MRI for enhanced differential diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring in children with VPD and concomitant speech disorders.
期刊介绍:
Mission: AJSLP publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles on all aspects of clinical practice in speech-language pathology. The journal is an international outlet for clinical research pertaining to screening, detection, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of communication and swallowing disorders across the lifespan as well as the etiologies and characteristics of these disorders. Because of its clinical orientation, the journal disseminates research findings applicable to diverse aspects of clinical practice in speech-language pathology. AJSLP seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work.
Scope: The broad field of speech-language pathology, including aphasia; apraxia of speech and childhood apraxia of speech; aural rehabilitation; augmentative and alternative communication; cognitive impairment; craniofacial disorders; dysarthria; fluency disorders; language disorders in children; speech sound disorders; swallowing, dysphagia, and feeding disorders; and voice disorders.
