Abstract:
Isolated unilateral palatal hypoplasia is an extremely rare congenital disorder that usually causes velopharyngeal incompetence. We herein report a case with isolated unilateral palatal hypoplasia that was treated and followed up over nine years. No hypernasality or articulation errors were observed through the postoperative period. Here the intraoperative and postoperative findings are described.
