  • Title: Otitis media in five cats associated with soft palate abnormalities.
    Author: Woodbridge NT, Baines EA, Baines SJ.
    Journal: Vet Rec; 2012 Aug 04; 171(5):124. PubMed ID: 22798343.
    Abstract:
    The medical records of five cats that were diagnosed with otitis media and soft palate abnormalities, three of which had concurrent otitis interna, were reviewed retrospectively. The animals presented with unilateral or bilateral otitis media or otitis interna associated with soft palate hypoplasia (four cases) or unilateral soft palate cleft (one case). Otitis media was confirmed by radiography, CT or MRI. The soft palate abnormalities present were discovered on oropharyngeal examination at induction of anaesthesia. These five cases provide additional support of a link between otitis media and soft palate abnormalities in cats, as reported in humans and dogs.
