Radiographic evaluation of the symptom-producing adenoid.

Adenoid hypertrophy has several variable symptoms. In this study, symptoms were divided into minor and major. A lateral radiograph of the nasopharynx was performed in 114 patients to study the superior and antroadenoid diameters. With proper statistical analysis, a correlation was made between the various clinical groups (scores) and the adenoid measurements. Our results support Hibbert's findings that the antroadenoid width is a better indicator of the symptom-producing adenoid than adenoid mass measurements with their loosely defined norms. A thorough history and physical examination remain paramount in the diagnosis and management of adenoid hypertrophy.
