Abstract
Velopalatin palsy, is a rare entity in children which affects 9th and 10th cranial nerves. A 7-year-old boy presented with a complaint of regurgitation of fluids into the nois and rhinolalia. Shift of the uvula to the right side and descending of pharyngeal wall in the left side were detected in physical exam. The patient had pressure and pain on his chest. No abnormality had been found in telecardiography, electrocardiography, bacteriologic-viral serology tests, and cranial magnetic resonance imaging. The child recovered spontaneously after 2 weeks. The case has been presented here because of the scarce and benign nature of this disorder.
