[Articulation and nasalization in palatal cleft]
Abstract:
The author studied 189 patients after operations for cleft palate who had not had earlier logopedic rehabilitation. The range of disturbances was presented as a sum of abnormal articulations against a background of functional disturbances of various degree. Preponderance of articulation disturbances was noted--84.7% in relation to nasalization--75.1%. Patients with moderate and high-grade nasalization achieved evidently worse results of speech rehabilitation and had a much smaller possibility of autocorrection in relation to those with--out impairing nasalization. Moreover, articulation changes were found in patients without nasalization and with low-grade nasalization, which suggests persistence of habits, and the need for early exercises to prevent the formation of harmful compensations.

Nasopharynx
The nasopharynx, bordered by the conchae of the nasal cavity, serves exclusively as an air conduit. In its superior region, the pharyngeal tonsils or adenoids are located. These tonsils are clusters of lymphoid reticular tissue akin to a lymph node. The precise...
