    Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) affects speech and requires physician understanding. This review covers VPI anatomy, causes, diagnosis, and management in children and adults.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Speech Pathology
    • Pediatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is an uncommon diagnosis impacting speech.
    • Primary care physicians often first identify VPI.
    • Understanding VPI's speech pathology aids diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the velopharynx anatomy and VPI etiology.
    • To outline the evaluation and management of VPI patients.
    • To enhance physician understanding of VPI in all age groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on velopharyngeal anatomy.
    • Analysis of VPI causes and diagnostic approaches.
    • Summary of current VPI management strategies.

    Main Results:

    • VPI has diverse etiologies in pediatric and adult populations.
    • Accurate diagnosis relies on understanding speech pathology.
    • Comprehensive management involves anatomical and functional considerations.

    Conclusions:

    • Physician awareness of VPI is crucial for early recognition.
    • A thorough understanding of velopharyngeal function is essential.
    • Effective management strategies exist for VPI patients.
