Objective: To investigate the middle ear function of the patients with cleft palate pre and post palatoplasty. Methods: 76 patients with cleft palate were investigated by clinical history and audiology examinations including electric otoscopy,tympanometry and click-ABR threshold. Results: The risk for middle ear function decreased with advancing age in the first 5 years. It was noticed that the otologic outcomes was related to the CP type. During long time follow-up, the frequency with the middle ear function disorder was always high within the CP patients but the proportion of the patients received tympanostomy tubes was low relatively. The prevalence of middle ear dysfunction did not differ with the time of cleft palate repair. Conclusion: The patients with cleft palate have middle ear function dysfunction in a long period of time,therefore a standard long-time follow-up system is necessary.
目的： 探讨腭裂患儿的中耳功能状态与病程以及腭裂分型的关系。 方法： 回顾性分析76例腭裂患儿的诊疗经过，其中男44例、女32例，接受腭裂手术时年龄为6~23个月。记录其新生儿听力筛查，腭裂修补术前、术后3个月、1~2年、2~4年及5年的病史以及电耳镜检查、声导抗、听觉诱发电位测试等临床资料，分析患儿中耳功能状态的变化。采用SPSS 13.0软件进行统计学分析。 结果： 从腭裂病程看，除外新生儿听力筛查结果，随着年龄的增长，中耳功能异常的比例逐渐较少（χ²=12.130，P<0.05）；从腭裂分型看，软腭裂、不完全腭裂、完全腭裂发生中耳功能异常的比例存在差异（χ²=8.316，P=0.016）；从手术月龄来看，中耳功能是否正常与手术时月龄无关（P>0.05）；从耳科处理及结局看，虽然腭裂患儿中耳功能异常的比例较高，但适时接受鼓膜置管手术者仍占比很小。 结论： 腭裂患儿中耳功能长期存在异常，且与腭裂程度、病程相关，需要建立完善的长期随访与多学科干预机制。.
