Eustachian Tube Opening in Children With and Without Cleft Palate and Association With Otitis Media

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 10, Page 4542-4551, October 2026.
Using transnasal endoscopy in 50 children, structural abnormalities of the torus tubarius—particularly the posterior lip—were significantly more common in children with cleft palate than in those without (52% vs. 20%). Adenoid size, dynamic Eustachian tube opening visibility, and the Eustachian Tube Inflammation Scale correlated with middle ear status ...
