구개열이 있으면 언어장애 음식섭취의 어려움, 구개범장근의 기능장애로 인한 이관의 개폐기능부전으로 중이의 액체고임, 부정교합등 여러 문제가 생길 수 있다. 따라서 구개성형술은 갈라진 경구개와 연구개를 막아주며 동적인 연구개를 만들어 주어 충분한 구개인두폐쇄를 하여 정상적 발음을 하는데 그 목표가 있다. 그 외에도 음식물을 정상적으로 섭취할 수 있고 중이염 및 난청을 일으킬 수 있는 기능을 개선시키고 정상적인 교합을 만들어주는데 있다. 위의 목표를 이루기 위해 지금까지 많은 수술 방법이 개발되었고 개선되어 왔다. 하지만 아직도 가장 효과적인 수술방법, 수술시기에 대하여 논쟁거리가 되고있다. 언어를 분명하게 하려면 연구개는 인두벽에 닿기 위해 후상방으로 올라가고 인두의 후벽과 측벽은 올라온 연구개에 닿으려고 수축함으로써 비인두와 구인두 사이의 공간이 좁아지게 됨으로써 가능하다. 따라서 발음이 정확하려면 비인두괄약(nasopharyngeal sphincter)을 합리적으로 만들어주어 비인두와 구인두를 분리해 주어야 한다. 비인두괄약을 조성해 주는 방법에는 구개범거근이 괄약기능을 할수 있도록 연구개내근성형술(intravelar veloplasty)을 시행하여 양편구개범거근을 횡위로 옮겨 연결하여 올림근 걸이(levator muscle sling)을 만드는 방법, 구개 연조직을 후방으로 밀어 구개 길이를 연장하는 방법, 인두 피판술을 하는 방법등이 있다. 구개범거근의 주행방향과 부착이 잘못되어 있는 것으로, 정상에서는 구개범거근이 횡으로 주행하여 연구개의 정중봉선(median raphe)에 부착하는 데 반해 구개열에서는 구개범거근이 전방으로 주행하여 개열 가까이에 있는 구개열 후연과 골선 개열연에 부착되어 있고 구개인두근과 구개수근이 연구개를 그냥 지나쳐직접 구개열 후연에 붙는다. 저자등은 완전 양측성 구개열을 연구개내근성형술 및 서골피판을 동반한 2개 점막성골막판을 이용한 구개성형술로 수술을 시행하여 다소의 지견을 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다

Background and Objectives : The operation Double Opposing Z-Plasty, has been used for improving VPI function in the submucous cleft palate. However, few reports on the effects of the speech change were presented. The purpose of this study is to compare the difference of nasality and nasalance, parents satisfaction between before and after this operation and to consider how much improvement in speech. Materials and Methods : Ten submucous cleft palate children who underwent double opposing Z-plasty were analyzed. We retrospectively studied nasalance, auditory perception (nasality) with hypernasality, patients satisfaction, speech evaluation by using charts review, video tape, telephone interview. Results : In 8 patients of 10 submucous cleft palate, hypernasality reduced and speech intelligibility was higher and mean 0.35 point was increased in the velum length after operation. After operation, nasality was improved (2.0 point) and level of nasal emission decreased. Regarding satisfaction of this operation, scale was mean 2.8 (5 point-scale) : 8 parents were satisfied in the resonance, 3 parents were satisfied articulation. The reason of dissatisfaction was mostly compensatory articulation. Conclusion : To improve of speech in the submucous cleft palate, speech therapy afterthis operation as well as successful surgery should be considered.

점막하 구개열(submucous cleft palate)은 특징적인 임상적 해부학적 기형을 나타내는데 이분 구개수(bifid uvula), 근육의 분리(muscular diastasis), 경구개 후연의 절흔(frank notching of the posterior hard palate)등이다. 결국 이러한 기형을 교정하지 않으면 과비음과 공명장애로 인한 조음장애는 사회생활에 중요한 영향을 미치고, 사람의 인상에 나쁜 영향을 주게되어 개인의 인성 형성의 장애와 삶의 질의 저하를 초래하게 된다. (중략)

Submucosal type cleft palate is a kind of cleft palate. A submucosal cleft may result in shortening of the anteroposterior dimension of the hard or soft palates or both. The increased distance along with the lack of muscle connection in the soft palate usually accounts for the lack of palatopharyngeal function in patients with submucosal cleft. Resonance disorders which is found in cleft patients show hypernasality or hyponasality. Many cases of submucosal type cleft palate patients visit our clinics due to hypernasality. In this study, resonance disorders was evaluated through nasalance test. Experimental group was composed of submucosal type cleft palate patients. The patients were treated by a so-called combined therapy, i.e., operation and speech training. To observe the changing pattern by surgery, nasalance test was carried out one time before surgery and three times after surgery. Nasometer II was used as a examination. The questionaire was filled with single vowels & diphthongs. The mean nasalance score of the child was significantly lower than that of the adult at every vowel. An early age at operation (under 10 years) was that a better functional result was achieved with patients. The mean nasalance score of /i/ was highest and that of /a/ was the lowest. The result of corrective surgery in selected cases has achieved improvement in all cases. Hypernasality has been consistently diminished. he operation.

배경 및 목적 : 한국 구개열환자에게는 된소리 자음(농음0의 구음산출의 난도가 높다는 것은 임상적으로 잘 알려져 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 한국 구개열 환자에게 있어서 난도가 높은 농음의 산출 메커니즘의 기본적 요소를 규명하므로서 언어치료의 새로운 방법모색에 기여하고져 하였다. 연구방법; 비강자음에 후속된 3종의 어두 파열자음 산출시의 구개범거근의 근활동 양상의 차이를 비교검토하므로서 농음의 산출특성을 검색하고져 하였다. 관찰기록 방법은 근전도는 유구침금전극(hooked wire electrodes)을 구강내로부터 경점막적으로 유도하였다. 연구결과 : 격음과 농음의 파열자음에서 평음보다 높은 구개범거근의 근활동이 관찰되었으나 격음과 농음 사이에선 유의미적인 차이는 보이지 않았다. 결 론 : 금후의 과제로는 피험자를 늘려 재확인을 하는 일, 및 농음과 격음의 변별요소에 관해 더욱 검토할 필요가 있는 것이 시사되었다.

Several kinds of surgical methods have been used to treat the submucous cleft palate with hypernasality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the double opposing Z-plasty which is one of the newly established surgical methods by Dr. Furlow in three cases of submucous cleft palate with hypernasality operated in this department. There were a number of advantage of double opposing Z-plasty. The surgery is adaptable for use in early patient. Midfacial growth retardation and complication were not seen in all cases. Hypernasality was improved subjectively. Using the nasometer, the nasalance score of the postoperative period was compared with that of before surgery, much improvement were noted in 'Ah', 'PaPa'. And fiberoptic endoscope was used to evaluate the velopharyngeal closure pattern. Velopharyngeal closure pattern with velum was improved dramatically, Double opposing Z-plasty seem to be a good procedure for the treatment of submucous cleft palate with hypernasality.

Congenital palatal fistulas are rare, and few cases have been reported. Most reported cases present with a submucous cleft palate. In terms of etiology, whether the fistula is congenital or acquired has been debated. Moreover, there is not a generally accepted surgical procedure for repair of palatal fistulas. We present a case of a congenital palatal fistula with a submucous cleft palate that was successfully treated with a Furlow double - opposing Z - plasty. We discuss palatal fistulas with a review of the literature.

Furlow palatoplasty has been favored by many plastic surgeons as the primary treatment for the velopharyngeal insufficiency associated with submucous cleft palate. The purpose of this article is to introduce an efficacy of Furlow palatoplasty and speech therapy performed on patients who were diagnosed belatedly as having submucous cleft palates. From 2002 to 2004, four submucous cleft palate patients over 5 years of age with velopharyngeal insufficiency received Furlow palatoplasty. The patients were evaluated through the preoperative perceptual speech assessment, nasometry, and videonasopharyngoscopy. Postoperatively, two patients achieved competent velopharyngeal function in running speech. One of the remaining two could achieve competent velopharyngeal function with visual biofeedback speech therapy and the other could not use her new velopharyngeal function in running speech because of her age. Speech therapy can correct the articulation errors and thus improve the velopharyngeal function to a certain extent by eliminating some compensatory articulations that might have an adverse influence on velopharyngeal function. This study shows that Furlow palatoplasty can successfully correct the velopharyngeal insufficiency in submucous cleft palate patients and speech therapy has a role in reinforcing surgical result. But age is still a restrictive factor even though surgery was well done.
