“…AH mainly causes a series of uncomfortable and inflammatory changes in the ear, nose, and throat. However, it can also lead to deformities in the development of the craniomaxillofacial region as it forces patients to engage in long-term open mouth breathing (3). In addition, AH also greatly impacts eating, so for younger patients it may also compromise their intake of nutrients and thus disrupt their growth and development (4).…”

Background: In recent years, annual incidences of adenoid hypertrophy (AH), a highly common tissue lesion in children, have increased. Currently, research on AH has focused on its obstruction of nasal cavity function, and little has been written on its influence on the upper airway's bone structure. For this reason, our present study seeks to determine the influence of AH on both the morphological development characteristics of the upper airway and the craniofacial features in children, with the goal being to offer more choices for diagnosing and treating the condition in the future.

“…However, another study designed similarly to ours, did not result in a similar conclusion. The authors also examined adenoid via flexible endoscope and graded tissue in four stages according to choanal opening obstruction; however, study results showed no significant correlation between persistent OME and AH 23 . A study by Skoludik et al compared both adenoid size by choanal obstruction and by eustachian tube ostium obstruction.…”

Otitis media with effusion (OME) is amongst the most common pediatric diseases and the most common cause of hearing loss in children. It is accepted that adenoid hypertrophy (AH) is related to OME incidence. Better understanding of the correlation between the relative size of AH and the incidence of persistent OME may provide evidence to support a more standardized approach to the diagnosis and treatment of OME. A retrospective study carried out between April 2016 and April 2018 collected data on 65 children aged 2-12 years, diagnosed with chronic OME and symptoms of AH, where conservative therapy failed. Pre-diagnostic data were collected from patient history, otoscopy, rhinoscopy, and oropharyngoscopy findings. Diagnostic workup included tympanometry, audiometry, and flexible nasal fiberoptic endoscopy. Adenoid grading was performed according to Cassano method after endoscopic visualization. Of the 65 patients, 37 were male and 28 were female. There was no statistically significant difference according to gender or average age. The highest incidence of persistent OME with AH was recorded in the youngest age groups (2-5 and 6-9 years). The most frequent AH grades were grade II (35.38%) and grade III (50.77%), yielding a statistically significant result. The most common presenting symptoms were hearing impairment, snoring, and nasal obstruction (100%, 64.62% and 60%, respectively). Higher AH grades are critical for persistence of OME and may cause conservative therapy failure.

“…The children with hearing loss also had speech and language delay (p = 0.004). Children with enlarged adenoids obstructing the > 50% of the choanae or abutting the eustachian tube opening are more likely to have hearing loss and may develop speech and 19 conducted a study on 55 children and graded the adenoids according to size into groups A-C. After doing audiometric tests, found no significant correlation between the groups and relevant hearing loss. Acharya et al, 13 were Grade I 29 dB, Grade II 28.5 dB, Grade III 31.25 dB, Grade IV 37.25 dB.…”

Background: Hypertrophy of the adenoid is a common finding in children under 12 years of age, which commonly leads to impairment of hearing.Nasoendoscopyand audiological tests are frequently included in the workup of these patients. Objectives:Aim for this study was to find out whether any correlation exists between the size of adenoids on nasoendoscopy and the audiological parameters. Materials & Methods: This is cross-sectional study conducted from Jan 2019 to Jan 2020 in Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College Hospital, Enayetpur, Shirajganj. Total 50 patients were included in this study. In all patients, Flexible nasoendoscopy, Pure tone audiometry and Tympanometry was done. Findings were evaluated to assess the correlation of degree of adenoid hypertrophy to the severity of hearing impairment. Results: In this study, mean age of participants was 7.46 (3.62) years. Findings of hypertrophy were – Grade I 7(13%), Grade II 24(47%), Grade III 14(28%), Grade IV 6(12%).Findings of hearing status were – upto 25 dB 14(28%), Between 26–40 dB 32(64%), Above 40 dB 4(8%). Mean hearing loss according to adenoid hypertrophy were – Grade I –19.42dB, Grade II –30.41dB, Grade III – 35.64dB, Grade IV – 38.60dB. Type B curve percentage on adenoid groups were – Grade I – 3(43%), Grade II – 16(67%), Grade III – 11(79%), Grade IV – 6(100%). Conclusion: Adenoid hypertrophy as seen on nasoendoscopy correlates well with the expected audiological parameters in children. KYAMC Journal.2021;12(01): 18-21
