Abstract

Obstructive adenoid hypertrophy is a common disorder especially in children. In this study, pre-operative findings of 50 cases who underwent adenoidectomy procedure due to obstructive adenoid hypertrophy, were compared with per-operative and post-operative findings. Pre-operative lateral nasopharynx roentgenograms were obtained from all patients and adenoid-nasopharynx ratios were calculated. Post-operative weights of the adenoid were calculated and compared to the adenoid-nasopharynx ratio. In conclusion, it is thought there is no significant correlation between the adenoid-nasopharynx ratio and adenoid weight. The adenoid-nasopharynx ratio results above 0.85 were thought to have obstructive adenoid hypertrophy.

Özet

Obstrüktif adenoid hipertrofisi, özellikle çocuklarda çok sık karşılaşılan bir durumdur. Bu çalışmada, obstrüktif adenoid hipertrofisi sebebiyle adenoidektomi uygulanan 50 olgunun preoperatif bulguları, per ve postoperatif verilerle karşılaştırıldı. Tüm hastaların preoperatif lateral nazofarenks grafileri alındı, adenoid nazofarenks oranları hesaplandı. Postoperatif adenoid ağırlıkları adenoid nazofarenks oranları ile istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı. Adenoid nazofarenks oranları ile adenoid ağırlıkları arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon bulunmadığı, 0.85'in üzerindeki adenoid nazofarenks oranlarının obstrüktif adenoid hipertrofisi lehine yorumlanmasının uygun olacağı değerlendirildi.
