Abstract EN
Velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI), in which the velopharyngeal port does not close during speech, is an important condition that reduces the quality of life in affected patients.
Behc¸ et’s disease (BD) is a systemic autoimmune vasculitis with effects on many organs and systems in the body.
Patients with BD may have otorhinolaryngological symptoms as part of its multi-system disease involvement.
In rare cases, autoimmune diseases have been linked to VPI.
Here we report the first case of BD diagnosed in a patient with VPI.
