Title: Relationship between Nasopharyngeal Lateral Film and Adenoid Hypertrophy
Abstract: Objective:To study the relationship between nasopharyngeal lateral film and adenoid hypertrophy, discuss the diagnostic value of nasopharyngeal lateral film for pediatric adenoid hypertrophy.Method:Retrospective analysis 105 cases of suspected of adenoid hypertrophy in children of nasopharyngeal lateral slice and other clinical data, measure the thickness and width of nasopharyngeal adenoid body and after airway width(PAS),and calculate the adenoidectomy index, analysis of the A/N value and the relationship between adenoid hypertrophy in children.Result:The ratios of A/N ≤0.6 were found in 20 cases,0.6A/N≤0.7 in 25 cases,and 0.7A/N≤1 in 60 cases.The values of PAS were 1-5 mm in 42 cases,6-9 mm in 36 cases,and more than 10-16 mm in 27 cases.Conclusion:Nasopharyngeal lateral X-ray slice adenoidectomy index(A/N) children with adenoid hypertrophy are positively correlated,observation and diagnosis of adenoid hypertrophy in children is simple and accurate method.
