Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between cleftpalate and secretory otitis media so that the secretory otitis media resulted from cleftpalate was treated and prevented effectively. Methods 116 children with cleftpalate and 73 normal children were investigated by tympanogram, hearing threshold and auditory brain response. Results The incidence of secretory otitis media and hearing loss had significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions Children with cleftpalate had high incidence of secretory otitis media and hearing loss. We should pay more attention to the treatment and prevention of secretory otitis media in children with cleftpalate. It is necessary for the cleftpalate children to insert the tympanal pressure equalization tubes while palatal surgery is performed.
