Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) is a disorder of the velopharyngeal (VP) sphincter or valve, which separates the nasal and oral cavities during speech, swallowing, vomiting, blowing, and sucking. The overall result is decreased speech intelligibility and significant functional and social impairment. It must be promptly diagnosed and treated to improve patient function and quality of life. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of velopharyngeal dysfunction and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition.
