title: A videoradiographic investigation of the position of the tongue prior to palatal repair in babies with cleft lip and palate.
abstract: Lateral videoradiography was carried out on nine babies, seven with clefts and two without, at rest and while feeding with a barium mixture. No discernible difference was found in tongue movement or position between the cleft and noncleft babies, nor did the presence or absence of a presurgical plate make any difference.
