March 26, 2013 updated by: Priscila de Araujo Lucas Rodrigues, Centro de Diagnostico Auditivo de Cuiaba

Tympanometric Analysis in Post Surgical Individuals With Cleft Palate

Purpose: Characterize the profile of tympanometric patients with cleft lip and palate in the post surgery period and correlate it with the time of palatoplasty. Methods: The sample consisted of 16 patients with cleft lip or palate totaling 32 ears treated at a Public University Hospital in Cuiabá (MT)- Brazil, in the post surgery moment that varied from three months to 33 years. Were sampled patients of both sexes, pediatrics and adults.
