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.
