title: [The state of palatine tonsils in the patients presenting with the deviation of the nasal septum].
abstract: The objective of the present study was to further improve diagnostics and treatment of chronic tonsillitis (ChT). It included 100 patients presenting with disturbances of the nasal breathing that resulted in the deviation of the nasal septum and hypertrophy of the inferior turbinate bones. The signs of the simple form of chronic tonsillitis were detected in the 87 patients enrolled in the study. The patients who enjoyed the normalization of the nasal breathing after the surgical intervention had a more favourable clinical course of chronic tonsillitis compared with the patients given no such treatment. The results of the study provide an additional information concerning the relationship between the disturbances of the basal bleeding and the development of changes in palatine tonsils; moreover, they allow determining early indications for the surgical treatment for the correction of the deviation of the nasal septum.
