[Measurement of adenoid tissue in the lateral plate of the nasopharynx. Clinico-radiologic correlation].
172 children were studied, being 113 hypertrophy symptomatic adenoid (AH) and 59 of control group. Clinical findings were compiled of such entity in a direct way; without knowing the results, measurings of the diameter of the adenoid tissue were taken, at the trachea and preadenoid aerial column (PAAC). It was shown that their involvement is a forecaster of undoubtful value in the prognosis of AH, specially if it is considered that other procedures are hard to carry out such as in the case of the child affected by posterior rhinoscopy.
