The prevalence of otological manifestations in children with cleft palate
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, 10/07/09

Zingade ND et al. – External ear deformities are more prevalent in the cleft palate population than the general population. There was a high prevalence of OME in concordance with previous studies. The prevalence of other otopathology was rare. There was no association of the type or side of palate cleft with OME.
