This special issue summarizes the outcome of a multidisciplinary approach in the complex treatment of individuals with cleft lip/palate (CLP) and/or velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). Specialists from four continents bring together state-of-the-art information on diagnostics and discuss current therapeutical trends and their most frequent complications. All professionals interested in everyday treatment of CLP/VPI and in its associated research will find this issue a valuable survey on various techniques such as nasopharyngofiberoscopy, fluorovideography, rhinomanometry, X-ray cephalometry, CT scanning, acoustic analysis and articulation tests as well as proposals for the standardization of speech and hearing evaluation to determine velopharyngeal functions. This volume should be read by anyone working in the fields of phoniatrics, speech pathology, logopedics, oral-, maxillofacial- and plastic surgery, otolaryngology, orthodontics, radiology, pediatrics and human genetics.
