Abstract

The speech function of a 55-year-old woman with a speech disorder due to a large torus palatinus was evaluated before and after surgery. Auditive impressions were assessed by a speech intelligibility test of 100 syllables, an articulation test, and a diadochokinetic ability test. Speech functions were measured by static palatography, tongue cephalography with contrast media, and acoustic analysis. The results showed slight speech disorder during production of /hj/, /kj/, and /gj/ before surgery and improvement in speech function without speech therapy after surgery.
