ABSTRACT
OB J ECT I V E To explore the adjacentpatterns between adenoid and Eustachian cushion in hypertrophic adenoid children and to study its relationship with otitis media with effusion(OME). METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted in 144 cases of pediatric adenoidal hypertrophy(or concurrenttonsil hypertrophy) admitted for adenoid ablation under the 700 nasal endoscope. Children were divided into 3 groups(TypeⅠ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ) according to adjacentpatterns between adenoid and Eustachian cushion.The incidence of OME, severe hypertrophy of adenoid(A/N>0.7) in differentgroup were analyzed. RESULTS There were 34 children (23.6%) with OME, 3 (9.1%) in type Ⅰ, 10(16.9%) in type Ⅱ and 21(40.4%) in type Ⅲ. No significantdifference was existed between the incidence of OME in type Ⅰ and Ⅱ. In contrast, significantdifference were found in the incidence of OME between the type Ⅲ and type Ⅰ, Ⅱ. The incidence of severe adenoid hypertrophy was 34.9% in typeⅠandⅡ children and 82.2% in type Ⅲ children(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Adjacentpatterns between adenoid and Eustachian cushion, the degree of adenoid hypertrophy play an importantrole in the incidence of OME.
