“…The adenoid / nasopharynx ratio was significantly higher in the non-allergic group. Bozkurt et al ( 360 ) performed skin prick test on the patients who had adenoidectomy, and compared the removed adenoid’s volume, VAS scores, and adenoid size on flexible nasopharyngoscopic examination between the prick test positive (32 patients) and negative (52 patients) groups. They reported significantly higher adenoid volume in patients with AR.…”

“…Hypertrophic adenoids may get smaller and the volume of the nasal cavity may increase with the use of NCS ( 365 , 433 - 435 ). Comparative studies showed that NCS are more effective than oral antihistamines in the control of nasal symptoms, while there was no significant difference between these two agents for ocular symptoms.…”

Object: To prepare a national guideline for Otorhinolaryngologist who treat allergic rhinitis patients. Methods: The study was conducted by three authors, namely the writing support team. The support team made the study plan, determined the writing instructions, chose the subgroups including the advisory committee, the advisors for authors and the authors. A workshop was organized at the very beginning to explain the details of the study to the team. Advisors took the chance to meet their coworkers in their subgroups and determined the main headings and subheadings of the guideline, together with the authors. After key words were determined by the authors, literature search was done in various databases. The authors keep in touch with the advisors and the advisors with the advisory committee and the support group at every stage of the study. National and International published articles as well as the abstracts of unpublished studies, imperatively presented in National Congresses, were included in this guideline. Only Guideline and meta-analyses published in last seven years (2013-2017) and randomized controlled studies published in last two years (2015-2017) were included. After all work was completed by the subgroups, support team brought all work together and edited the article. Results: A detailed guideline about all aspects of allergic rhinitis was created. Conclusion: The authors believe that this guideline will enable a compact and up-to-date information on allergic rhinitis to healthcare professionals. This guideline is the first in the field of Otolaryngology in Turkey. It should be updated at regular intervals.

“…The portal position of adenoid in the upper respiratory tract makes it an accordant reservoir of virus and bacteria causing recurrent infections which ends up with lymphoid hyperplasia. Allergic inflammation is another cause of adenoid enlargement in which the adenoid tissue will contain numerous IgE-positive mast cells [1,3,4] . Chronic nasal obstruction due to adenoid enlargement is one of the most common children's complaints that may be associated with chronic sinusitis and recurrent otitis media, therefore adenoidectomy is considered as the most surgical procedure performed in pediatric age group [5] .…”

Background: Many pediatric patients present to the otolaryngologist with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea due to adenoid enlargement, which requires adenoidectomy. Due to the adenoid importance for immunity in early childhood, and the risks of anaesthesia and operative complications, an alternative medical treatment has been considered. Aim: To compare the effect of mometasone spray and montelukast, each alone or in combination on the symptoms and size of obstructive adenoid in children aged 3-13 years. Patients and Methods: A prospective randomized non-blinded study was conducted at Al-Jumhoori Teaching Hospital from August 2019 to November 2020. It included 95 patients (males 47, females 48) with nasal symptoms attributed to adenoid enlargement; they were randomly assigned to three groups; group (I) taking mometasone , group (II) taking montelukast , and group (III) taking both. Treatment continued for two months. Clinical scores were taken after two months of treatment, and then one month after cessation of treatment. Results: In group I there was improvement at three months of nasal obstruction and adenoid size. In group II there was improvement at three months of cough only. In group III there was improvement at three months of nasal obstruction, cough and adenoid size. Conclusions: There is significant improvement of adenoid size and symptom score with mometasone and montelukast, each alone or in combination. Mometasone has a better effect on adenoid size and symptoms than montelukast at two months, with less recurrence of adenoid size and symptoms one month after cessation of treatment. Combined therapy of mometasone and montelukast showed marginal improvement over mometasone alone at two months. At three months, there is no advantage of combined treatment over mometasone alone.

“…They require more expensive equipment than PNIF with nearly the same ability to estimate nasal airflow, which is an objective, non-specific measurement for nasal obstruction and response to treatment regardless of the etiology. Recently, the visual analog scale (VAS) enables an uncomplicated, rapid, and reproducible evaluation of nasal symptom severity and has been used for AH before [5].…”
