Introduction: Adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy are widespread among children. The typical management includes surgery (adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy) as well as different prescriptions for drug treatment. It is very common for children with adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy to have different types of otitis as well, including its chronic forms. Aim: The aim of this study is to review medical literature and inspect the connection between adenoid/tonsillar hypertrophy and different kinds of otitis in children, as well as to conclude the key points for new and better management of these diseases in childhood. Material and methods: A limited search with the keywords 'adenoid hypetrophy', 'tonsillar hypertrophy', 'otitis' and 'children' was conducted using the NCBITM and PubMed databases, which yielded over 20 articles, 10 of which were selected and thoroughly analyzed. Results: Multiple authors suggest that adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy are important risk factors for recurrent otitis media with effusion. Recent studies show that there is less improvement in children with acute and chronic otitis media after adenoidectomy and adenotonsillectomy than expected. They propose different alternative treatments which are more cost effective and with less risk for the patients. Conclusions: Adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy in children is one of the most common problems for general practitioners, pediatricians, and ENT specialists. By having one of these diseases the specialist should always inspect the possibility of having the other as well. The correct multidisciplinary management of both diseases is important for better quality of life in the small patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
