Pharyngeal Tonsil

The pharyngeal tonsil is a lymphatic tissue mass located in the roof of the nasopharynx. The function of the pharyngeal tonsil is to prevent infections with the help of antibodies. Chronic inflammation and allergies lead to hyperplasia of the adenoids that is found almost exclusively in children. The treatment of choice is surgical treatment; conservative treatment is only indicated preoperatively or if surgery is contraindicated. In this paper, we will present a new surgical method for adenoidectomy performed trans-orally with coblation, under endoscopic control.

Summary Introduction: Hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil is one of the main causes of mouth breathing, and accurate diagnosis of this alteration is important for proper therapeutic planning. Therefore, studies have been conducted in order to provide information regarding the procedures that can be used for the diagnosis of pharyngeal obstruction. Objective: To verify the correlation between nasopharyngoscopy and cephalometric examinations in the diagnosis of pharyngeal tonsil hyperplasia. Method: This was a cross-sectional, clinical, experimental, and quantitative study. Fifty-five children took part in this study, 30 girls and 25 boys, aged between 7 and 11 years. The children underwent nasofibropharyngoscopic and cephalometric evaluation to determine the grade of nasopharyngeal obstruction. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient at the 5% significance level was used to verify the correlation between these exams. Results: In the nasopharyngoscopy evaluation, most children showed grade 2 and 3 hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil, which was followed by grade 1. In the cephalometry assessment, most children showed grade 1 hyperplasia of the pharyngeal tonsil, which was followed by grade 2. A statistically significant regular positive correlation was observed between the exams. Conclusion: It was concluded that the evaluation of the pharyngeal tonsil hyperplasia could be carried out by fiber optic nasopharyngoscopy and cephalometry, as these examinations were regularly correlated. However, it was found that cephalometry tended to underestimate the size of the pharyngeal tonsil relative to nasopharyngoscopy.

Pharyngeal Tonsil

The aim of this work is to draw the attention of otorhinolaryngologists to the advantages of early conservative treatment of children with hypertrophy of the nasopharyngeal tonsil - adenoids. In childhood, a significant part of the protective and informational functions lies on the pharyngeal tonsil, since it is in the path of inhaled air. Unfavourable environmental conditions exacerbate its functional failure. Pathology of the lymphopharyngeal ring is highly prevalent and occupies a leading place among ENT diseases in children. Each person has a certain own microflora on the nasal mucosa from birth. In most cases, monoflora is determined on the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, and only 2-3% is due to the combination of two types of microbial and fungal flora. For more than twenty years, we have been using the tactics of a sparing effect on the mucous membrane when using medicinal mixtures on a protective basis. Conservative treatment of 245 children aged 3 to 6 years with grade 1 – 2 adenoiditis was carried out, which made it possible to avoid surgical intervention in this group of children. When choosing a drug mixture, the sensitivity of the microflora of the patient’s nasal cavity was considered according to the results of a smear from the mucous membrane. Adenoidectomy is an operation with potentially undesirable consequences for the whole body, therefore, effective timely conservative therapy can reduce the risks and harms of surgery for pediatric patients.

A review of scientific Russian and foreign articles devoted to the development of endogenous intoxication in chronic inflammatory pathology of the lymphoepithelial pharyngeal ring is carried out. Chronic tonsillitis and adenoiditis in children are one of the unsolved issues in otorhinolaryngology. Chronic tonsillitis is a chronic inflammation of the palatine tonsils characterized by recurrent exacerbations in the form of tonsillitis and a general toxic-allergic reaction. Adenoid vegetation is a pathological hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil. Chronic adenoiditis is a chronic polyetiologic disease, which is based on a violation of the physiological immune processes of the pharyngeal tonsil. In children, one cannot talk about an isolated inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsil, since as a result of exposure to antigens, an immune response arises, which involves all structures of the lymphoepithelial pharyngeal ring in the process, therefore some authors distinguish the term «adenotonsillitis». With pronounced activation of microflora in the nasopharynx and oropharynx, the body’s resistance to pathogenic microorganisms decreases, as a result of which decay products and toxins damage the vascular endothelium, disrupt their permeability and, penetrating through the epithelial barrier, contribute to the development of chronic intoxication and sensitization of the body. Endogenous intoxication is a polyetiologic and polypathogenetic syndrome characterized by the accumulation of endogenous toxins in tissues and biological fluids. Diagnostics of the endogenous intoxication severity includes a number of clinical and laboratory indicators and immunological markers. But, despite the constant improvement of the research methods, the issue of endotoxicosis diagnosis in chronic tonsillitis and adenoiditis remains insufficiently studied. As a result of the inadequate diagnosis, there is often a simultaneous removal of the pharyngeal and palatine tonsils, which in turn can lead to irreversible consequences.

Nasal obstruction caused by adenoid hypertrophy can lead to malocclusion. The research material consisted of children aged 7-12 years with adenoid hypertrophy qualified for adenoidectomy. On the basis of the conducted tests (laryngological, orthodontic, pediatric), the occurrence of open frontal bite in children with pharyngeal tonsil hypertrophy, in particular in boys, was confirmed in comparison to children without hypertrophy correctly breathing through the nose.
