Abstract

Objective We present a possible negative side effect of a sudden onset of secretory otitis media in a 12-year-old boy with unilateral cleft lip and palate who underwent maxillary expansion. The secretory otitis media caused a temporary hearing loss developed during the activation of the expander appliance. The possible causes for this complication are discussed. Conclusions Clinicians should be aware of the possible association between maxillary expansion and secretory otitis media.
