Description
The aim of this prospective work was to study the radiological and surgical correlation of adenoid size in children symptomatic with obstructive adenoid hypertrophy, and carried out at Tertiary care referral teaching hospital. Data of 25 randomly selected patients were used for analysis. Post nasal space images (lateral soft tissue neck X-ray) were analyzed using Fujioka’s method. Surgical findings based on endoscopic picture of choanal view using 0–2.7 mm endoscope were analyzed. The comparison between the two results was subjected for statistical analysis. A total of 25 cases were included in the study. The mean age was 7 ± 0.45 years. The findings showed good correlation between adenoid sizes on X-ray films compared to the size seen intraoperatively using the methods mentioned above. The current study showed positive correlation between adenoid size on lateral view X-ray films and surgical findings. X-rays can be used as a helpful diagnostic tool when post nasal endoscopy is not available or not possible.
