Abstract Introduction Adenoid hypertrophy is a change in adenoid size that can lead to obstruction the Eustachian tube and become a risk factor for otitis media effusion (OME) in children. Standard objective examination of adenoid hypertrophy uses adenoid-nasopharyngeal ratio (A-N ratio) based on correct lateral skull radiography. Adenoid hypertrophy is one of the factors causing OME in children. There is still much debate about the association between A-N ratio and tympanogram width (Tw). Determining the association of A-N ratio and Tw in adenoid hypertrophy patients. Methods Participants performed a true lateral radiographic examination using Fujioka method to determine A-N ratio, and Tw to determine middle-ear pressure. The distance between examination of A-N ratio and tympanogram examination was at maximum of ~1 week. The association between A-N ratio and Tw in patients with adenoid hypertrophy used the Pearson correlation test. This research employed significance level p < 0.05. Results Most participants were aged between 6 and 10 years (38.10%), male patients (57.14%), and the symptom most participants complained of was snoring during sleep (38.10%). Most participants had A-N ratio of 0.53 to 0.70 (61.90%) with an average of 0.60 ± 0.05. The average value of Tw measurement was 102.83 ± 50.03 daPa (r = 0.605; p < 0.001). Conclusion There is a significant association between A-N ratio base on true lateral radiographic examination and Tw in adenoid hypertrophy patients.

The authors report the case of a 23-year-old woman with café-au-lait spots and axillary and inguinal freckling who presented with a diploic chronic spontaneous hematoma of the left parietal bone. To the authors' knowledge, this case represents the first description of a diploic hematoma in a patient with stigmata of neurofibromatosis Type 1 unrelated to head trauma. Plain skull radiography showed an osteolytic lesion with well-circumscribed margins, corresponding to the hematoma, together with exuberant perilesional vascular markings. Angiography demonstrated an incidental aneurysm of the left supraclinoidal internal carotid artery and an unusual cortical venous drainage toward the diploic vessels. The blood flow of these vessels on the right hemicranium was sluggish and exhibited enlarged diploic venous lacunas. The authors hypothesize that the hematoma was formed by both an abnormal venous drainage toward the diploic vascular net, together with a vasculopathy that caused stenosis and obstruction of the normal drainage pathways from these vessels.
