Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:This study was designed for better understanding of the role of different methods of nasal endoscopy in the assessment of adenoid hypertrophy and comparing them with lateral neck radiography and patients' symptoms. SUBJECTS AND METHOD:From August 2007 until January 2009, in the otolaryngology ward of a tertiary referral center, 89 patients who had symptoms related to chronic mouth breathing participated in this study. History of the symptoms related to adenoid hypertrophy was obtained from them. In addition, all patients underwent nasal endoscopy and lateral nasopharynx x-ray. The clinician who did nasal endoscopy was blinded to information about clinical data and x-ray and vice versa. Afterward, the relationship between symptoms and each diagnostic procedure was evaluated. RESULTS:Patients had a mean age of 9.47 ± 4.68 years. In the evaluation of the relationship between symptoms grading and grading in lateral neck radiography, this relationship was significant about snoring. Furthermore, there was a significant relationship between the endoscopic size of adenoid and number of the episodes of acute otitis media. The sum of symptoms grading had a significant relationship with the size of adenoid in lateral neck x-ray, but not in nasal endoscopy. CONCLUSION:The results of the present study indicated that both radiography and nasal endoscopy could define the relationship between adenoid hypertrophy and associated symptoms and therefore are complementary. Between them, despite the popularity of nasal endoscopy, radiography can serve as a better planning tool.
