| PubMedID- 23814637 | cleft palate associated with klippel-feil syndrome is reported to be common, and speech results are relatively poor as anomalies of the upper cervical column and cranial base, including the palatal shelves, impede velopharyngeal valving.18 since our patient with klippel-feil syndrome had poor palatal and lateral and posterior pharyngeal wall movements, we used a ringed fascia lata sling in the velopharyngeal wall as an intravelar palatal lift instead of a pharyngeal flap. |
