Middle ear tissue mass and audiometric data from otologic care of infants with cleft palate.
Routine early myringotomy in patients with cleft lip, cleft palate, or both revealed polypoid tissue masses as well as otitis media with effusion. Changes in middle ear mucosa usually associated with chronic middle ear dysfunction were observed in the early months (2 to 8) of life.
