    Abstract:
    Tympanometry and otoscopy has been carried out to determine the presence of middle ear disease on patients with cleft palate and the influence of corrective surgery. This explorations have been evaluated preoperatively and at one and six months postoperative follow-up. There is a high incidence of otitis media with effusion in patients with cleft palate, almost 60 per 100 in our study. The influence of cleft palate surgery repair has not revealed as a mayor factor on its resolution, although a visible benefit has been observed in the long term controls. We recommend a otorhinolaryngological follow-up in these patients.
