Overview
Brief Summary
Adenoid hypertrophy is a prevalent condition in Pediatric population, often leading to obstructive symptoms and complication such as otitis media with effusion (OME). OME is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear without sings of acute infection, potentially resulting in hearing loss and speech delays. The degree of adenoid hypertrophy, graded from 1 to 4, is thought to influence the middle ear dysfunction. This study aiims to evaluate the correlation between the grade of adenoid hypertrophy and postoperative improvement in the middle ear function using various parameters like impedence and Diagnostic nasal endoscopy (DNE) following adenoidectomy.
