Avaliação da cavidade nasal e nasofaringe através da rinometria acústica antes e após adenoidectomia

Abstract: INTRODUÇÃO: A hipertrofia adenoideana é vista com freqüência na prática otorrinolaringológica e é importante avaliar a patência nasal antes do início do tratamento. Neste trabalho, os autores buscam avaliar as mudanças na geometria nasal e nasofaringe antes e após adenoidectomia através de um método objetivo de mensuração da patência nasal, a rinometria acústica. FORMA DE ESTUDO: Clínico prospectivo. OBJETIVO: Os autores avaliam a área de secção transversal mínima (ASTM) e o volume das cavidades nasais e nasof… Show more

“…Comparison with other studies (14,25) that analyzed the effects of vasoconstrictors on the nasal volume also showed that the improvement in nasal aeration observed in this study is not determined by a significant structural change.…”

“…In contrast, significant differences were observed between the two cavities when the pre-and post-cleansing and massage moments were compared in two situations: CSA 2 -corresponding to the cross-sectional area of the anterior portion of the middle and inferior turbinate and DIST 3 -corresponding to the distance to the nostril from the third nasal constriction area (3 rd deflection of the rhinogram curve) related to the posterior portion of the middle and inferior turbinate (14) . Considering that the measures of the CSA 2 before the application of the technique did not show difference between the sides, it is possible to infer that there was a change in the area corresponding to the anterior portion of the inferior turbinate after the technique was applied.…”
