    Pitch range, speaking pitch, and the fundamental frequency (F0) of habitual phonation were observed in a case with extremely low voice appeared in pregnancy. The higher limit of the pitch range shifted from E5to G #4at 23 weeks of pregnancy, and shifted further after delivery. Speaking pitch and F0 during pregnancy were D #3and B2respectively, and showed little improvement after delivery. Voice therapy, which was offered from five months after delivery, was effective to raise speaking pitch to some extent. However, none of three parameters observed here did return to the same level as those seen in prepregnancy.
    Hormonal effect, especially of estrogen on hyaluronic acid, was discussed as one of the contributory factors to voice disorders in pregnancy.

    1. In our speech clinic, 89 cases of nasopharyngeal articulation were diagnosed during the past 15 years, This represents 3.4 % of the total number of cases seen during the period.
    2. Nasopharyngeal articulation occurs mainly in/cv/syllables with vowels/i/and/u/, and/cv/syllables with consonants/s/and/dz/.
    3. Nasopharyngeal articulation usually manifests itself after the two year old level of language development. Spontaneous improvement, if occurs, is obtained before the language development level of 5 years.
    4. Results of speech therapy to correct nasopharyngeal articulation revealed greater response to treatment than with other types of articulation error.
