Abstract
Deletions in the 11p region can lead to severe outcomes, such as WAGR (Wilms tumor, aniridia, genitourinary anomalies, and mental retardation) syndrome. However, velopharyngeal insufficiency is little known, and its treatment guideline is yet to be established. Here, we present a velopharyngeal insufficiency case of a Korean patient with a 493kb deletion of chromosome 11p14.3. The patient was successfully managed with a posterior pharyngeal flap. Posterior pharyngeal flap should be considered in velopharyngeal insufficiency patients with WAGR syndrome.
