The invariable presence of otitis media with effusion in children with cleft palate aged from 2 to 20 months is confirmed in a prospective trial, and the diagnosis was made in each case by myringotomy. Treatment planning should take account of this, and long term ventilation of at least one ear seems to be mandatory in order to correct bilateral congenital deafness. Close cooperation between otologist and plastic surgeon is essential for diagnosis and treatment of otitis media in these patients.
一项前瞻性试验证实，2至20个月大的腭裂患儿中始终存在中耳积液，且每例均通过鼓膜切开术进行诊断。治疗计划应考虑到这一点，为纠正双侧先天性耳聋，至少使一只耳朵长期保持通气似乎是必要的。耳科医生与整形外科医生密切合作对于这些患者中耳炎的诊断和治疗至关重要。
