RESUMO
Objective: To investigate whether patients with marginal velopharyngeal dysfunction modify the laryngeal resistance as a strategy to achieve complete velopharyngeal closure. Design: Prospective analysis. Setting: Laboratory of Physiology at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies - USP (HRAC-USP). Participants: 19 patients with repaired cleft palate, of both genders, aged 12 to 47 years, presenting marginal velopharyngeal closure (M group), and 19 individuals without clefts (C group), of both genders, aged 14 to 35 years. Variables: Laryngeal resistance (R), intraoral air pressure (Po) and oronasal airflow (V), obtained by aerodynamic evaluation by the PERCI-SARS system, during production of the syllable /pa/, with and without nostril occlusion. Results: The mean R, Po and V values for the group with marginal velopharyngeal closure was, respectively, 34.8±10.8cmH2O/l/sec, 4.8±1.4cmH2O, 144.8±34.0ml/s without nostril occlusion (Ms); 34.0±14.3cmH2O/l/sec, 4.8±1.1cmH2O, 150.9±38,7ml/s with nostril occlusion (Mc); the values observed for the control group (C) were 39.2±13,4cmH2O/l/sec, 4.8±0.8cmH2O, 133.9±50.2ml/s. There was no statistically significant difference (p<0.05) among the mean R, Po and V values of the study groups. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the patients with marginal velopharyngeal closure investigated did not modify the laryngeal resistance as a strategy to improve speech resonance.
