Abstract

Idiopathic velopharyngeal insufficiency is a rare clinical entity. Typical clinical features are rhinolalia and nasopharyngeal regurgitation. It is usually observed in children. We report a case of a 28-year-old female with this rare disorder. The symptoms were rhinolalia and regurgitation of liquids into the nose. The magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and upper cervical region was normal. The infectious serologies were negative. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
