title: Extracts from The Cochrane Library: intranasal corticosteroids for moderate to severe adenoidal hypertrophy.
abstract: The "Cochrane Corner" is a quarterly section in the Journal that highlights systematic reviews relevant to otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, with invited commentary to aid clinical decision making. This installment features a Cochrane Review entitled "Intranasal corticosteroids for nasal airway obstruction in children with moderate to severe adenoidal hypertrophy," which finds limited evidence of a short-term improvement in nasal symptoms with a reduction of adenoid size.
