Why do I have a split uvula?
(It's the thing that hangs in the back of your mouth) I don't have any other symptoms of a disorder.
Answers:
A bifid uvula is a split or cleft uvula. This occurs in about 1% of caucasians and 10% of Native Americans. Bifid uvulas have less muscle in them than a normal uvula, this may cause recurring problems with middle ear infections. My son has a split uvula and has had no problems with it.
