Chronic rhinosinusitis and adenoid hypertrophy in children.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between adenoid microbiology, adenoid size, and maxillary sinus microbiology in children with both chronic rhinosinusitis and adenoid hypertrophy. METHODS:The children with both chronic rhinosinusitis and adenoid hypertrophy were admitted to this prospective study. The study included 30 children. The diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis was based on clinical and radiologic examinations. Adenoid hypertrophy was classified as medium and large based on the preoperative flexible fiberoptic endoscopy and nasal endoscopy during surgery. Maxillary sinus aspiration and adenoidectomy was performed in all patients. Sinus aspirate and adenoid tissue specimens were cultured. The correlation of culture results was investigated. The relationship between adenoid size and maxillary sinus culture results was analyzed by using chi-square test. RESULTS:Adenoid sizes were medium in 12 (40%) and large in 18 (60%) cases. Bacterial growth was found on 14 of 30 (47%) sinus aspirate, and all adenoid specimen cultures showed bacterial growth (100%). There was no statistical correlation between cultures obtained from the adenoid tissue with those from the maxillary sinus. The relationship between adenoid size and maxillary sinus culture results was not found statistically significant (chi(2) = 0.96, P = 1.0). CONCLUSION:The reason that there was no correlation between cultures obtained from the adenoid tissue with those from the maxillary sinus is that it seems possible that the adenoids act as a barrier causing mechanical obstruction rather than a nidus for chronic sinus infection. However, there is no relationship between adenoid size and maxillary sinus culture positivity. Medium adenoids causing partial obstruction may lead to changes in the microenvironment and may start bacterial growth in children with positive maxillary culture. Further investigation is needed to explain the association between adenoid hypertrophy and rhinosinusitis. Adenoidectomy helps to resolve the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis in the children with both chronic rhinosinusitis and adenoid hypertrophy.
