Diagnosis of Pediatric Nasopharynx Carcinoma after Recurrent Adenoidectomy

Diagnosis of Pediatric Nasopharynx Carcinoma after Recurrent Adenoidectomy

Nasopharyngeal soft tissue is most commonly adenoid hypertrophy in children. Although rare, nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) does occur in children. Nasal obstruction, serous otitis media, hearing problems, and tinnitus are common signs and symptoms of all nasal diseases. For this reason, the majority of NPC presents with advanced disease at the time of the diagnosis. This paper reported 7-year-o...

Effects of adenoidectomy on dentition and nasopharynx.

The bacterial interactions in the nasopharynx of children receiving adenoidectomy

Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae are the common pathogens that colonize in the nasopharynx of children. Polymicrobial interactions are thought to play an important role in different sites throughout the human body. However, there are currently very few studies that investigate the interactions between S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, and H. influenzae in the ...

Tubal tonsil hypertrophy: a cause of recurrent symptoms after adenoidectomy.

OBJECTIVES To assess the incidence of symptomatic tubal tonsil hypertrophy (TTH) after adenoidectomy and to attempt to differentiate the clinicoradiographic presentation of TTH from that of recurrent or residual adenoid. DESIGN Retrospective case series review. SETTING Pediatric otolaryngology practice in a tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS The charts of all patients scheduled to undergo r...

Fiberscopic Imaging of the Pediatric Nasopharynx

This study describes the endoscopic findings about the size of the adenoid tissue and the condition of the nasopharyngeal orifice of the eustachian tube. Results confirmed that only fiberscopic examination allows a thorough inspection of the nasopharyngeal anatomy to make a correct diagnosis and design therapeutic planning. When the presence of adenoid hypertrophy resulting in nasal obstruction...
