Evaluation of the Symmetry of the Levator Veli Palatini Muscle and Velopharyngeal Closure Among a Noncleft Adult Population.

Purpose: The goal of this study is to determine the typical range of asymmetry between the length and thickness of the levator veli palatini muscle and to explore the impact of the observed asymmetry on velopharyngeal closure. A second objective is to report normative length and thickness of the lev...
