Adult Cleft Palate Repair: It's Worth a Shot.
Cleft Palate-craniofacial Journal 2020 November 26
Repair of cleft palate in the adult population is controversial. We present a case of a 66-year-old woman who underwent secondary cleft palate repair. The patient was born with a cleft palate and at age 15 years underwent palate repair that subsequently broke down. She had profound velopharyngeal incompetence, was difficult to understand in conversation, and had a long history of hearing issues requiring hearing aids. She underwent revision palatoplasty and insertion of bilateral grommets. Postoperatively she had marked improvement in her speech, hearing, and quality of life. This case demonstrates the utility of secondary repair of cleft palate in the adult population.
