“…3 The two results obtained using the endoscope and by X-rays graphed to study the correlation interpretation of these radiographs. The parameters used and their interpretation have varied between the authors [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Fujioka et al [5] obtained adenoidal-nasopharyngeal Ratio (ANR) by simple linear measurements on lateral skull radiographs.…”

“…They suggested that the lateral view must be interpreted by recognizing the inherent limitations of evaluating a dynamic structure through a non-dynamic modality. Crepeau et al [13] supported the adenoidal nasopharyngeal ratio as a better indicator of symptom producing adenoid than the adenoid mass measurement. Lacosta et al [18] concluded that the lateral cavum X-ray is a good procedure to measure the adenoidal tissue and the nasopharyngeal airway.…”

The aim of this prospective work was to study the radiological and surgical correlation of adenoid size in children symptomatic with obstructive adenoid hypertrophy, and carried out at Tertiary care referral teaching hospital. Data of 25 randomly selected patients were used for analysis. Post nasal space images (lateral soft tissue neck X-ray) were analyzed using Fujioka's method. Surgical findings based on endoscopic picture of choanal view using 0-2.7 mm endoscope were analyzed. The comparison between the two results was subjected for statistical analysis. A total of 25 cases were included in the study. The mean age was 7 ± 0.45 years. The findings showed good correlation between adenoid sizes on X-ray films compared to the size seen intraoperatively using the methods mentioned above. The current study showed positive correlation between adenoid size on lateral view X-ray films and surgical findings. X-rays can be used as a helpful diagnostic tool when post nasal endoscopy is not available or not possible.

“…The most used methods to measure adenoids in the cavum radiograph are those described by Johannesson, 16 Fujioka et al, 8 Crepeau et al 6 and Cohen and Konak. 5 And when using the cephalometric radiograph, there are two methods described in the literature, McNamara's 22 and Schulhof's.…”

Introduction:The lateral cephalometric, as well as the cavum radiograph, allow the evaluation of the nasopharyngeal airway (NAW). Otorhinolaringologists routinely use the cavum radiograph, even when the patient already has a lateral cephalometric headfilm. Objectives: The aim of this study was to (a) acknowledge which exams otorhinolaringologists use for the evaluation and measurement of the NAW; (b) evaluate if the otorhinolaryngologists are acquainted to the cephalometric method; (c) compare both radiographs to see which one is preferred to visualize the NAW and adenoids and (d) correlate the visual analysis to the measuring method of Schulhof. Methods: For this purpose, the cephalometric and the cavum radiographs of 15 mouthbreathing children were taken on the same day. These radiographs were masked leaving only the NAW and the adenoids visible, and were blindly presented to 12 otorhinolaryngologists. They received the radiographs together with a questionnaire asking about their familiarity with the lateral cephalometric radiograph, which exams are used for NAW and adenoid evaluation and if they use any method for measuring the NAW obstruction level. They were also asked to visually classify the NAW and the adenoids according to their sizes into small, medium and large. Results: The results demonstrated that all otorhinolaryngologists in the sample use the cavum radiograph. Only one uses the cephalometric radiograph and two are familiar with this technique. The cephalometric radiograph was preferred by 49.4% of the otorhinolaryngologists, the cavum by 22.8% and 27.8% did not see any difference between both methods. There was low correlation between the visual method and the Schulhof measuring method. AbstractKeywords: Orthodontics. Otorhinolaryngology. Cavum radiograph. Cephalometric radiograph.
