[Intelligence evaluation of 22 patients with congenital velopharyngeal incompetence].
OBJECTIVE
To study the intelligence of 22 patients with CVPI.


METHODS
We examined the IQ of 22 patients with CVPI by Wechsler Primary Preschool Scale of Intelligence (WPSSI) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R).


RESULTS
The IQ of patients with CVPI was 44-109. The mean value and SD were 67.46+/-19.29. Patients with normal IQ accounted for 45.5%. 54.5% of patients with CVPI had mental retardation (MR), most of which were mild.


CONCLUSIONS
More than half of the patients with CVPI showed MR. It's necessary to evaluate the intelligence in patients with CVPI, and give treatment as early as possible.
