we aimed to investigate the correlation of tonsillectomy with palatine tonsil size and to compare the differences of tonsil size and the need for surgery in children and adults. also we can predict the outcome of tonsillectomy. we measured tonsil sizes in (height and width) in 150 children and 35 adults with hypertrophy of palatine tonsils and we measured the mass of tonsils and then the data a...

OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to evaluate the correlation between oropharyngeal examination and objective palatine tonsil volume in snoring adults and verify the influence of the oropharyngeal anatomy, body mass index, age, and severity of obstructive sleep apnea on actual tonsil volume. In addition, we aimed to assess the influence of tonsil size on obstructive sleep apnea in adults. ...

BACKGROUND The incidence of tonsil cancers has increased in several countries. French data on HPV prevalence in tonsil cancers are scarce. The objective of this study was thus to assess the overall and type specific HPV prevalence in tonsil histological samples. METHODS This French retrospective multicenter study involved 12 centres located throughout the country. Were included 185 histologic...

ipsilateral absence of tonsil and microtia with ectopic salivary gland was reported by Sinha & Singh in 1978.This patient presented with left external ear deformity with conductive hearing loss His oropharyngeal examination found ipsilateral absence of tonsil and ectopic salivary gland in the posterior part of the tongue. In 1985 Grewal, Hiranandini and Kalgutkar reported 4 cases of congenital ...

introduction: adenotonsillar hypertrophy is a typical cause of surgery in children. evaluation and identification of patients as potential candidates tonsillectomy is a primary concern for otolaryngologists. this study focuses on the results of pulmonary function tests (pfts) after tonsillectomy in children. materials and methods: this cross-sectional study examined 50 patients suffering from t...

OBJECTIVE We report a series of patients treated for carcinoma of the tonsil who either presented with bilateral carcinomas or later developed a second primary carcinoma of the contralateral tonsil. This report raises awareness of this occurrence. STUDY DESIGN Case series. METHODS Four cases have been identified of either concomitant or subsequent carcinoma of the contralateral tonsil inpat...

Abstract Regulating B cell death is essential for generating antibodies and maintaining immune tolerance. cells can die by apoptosis, we report that human tonsil cells, but not peripheral blood also NETosis. This density-dependent, characterized the loss of nuclear membrane integrity, release reactive oxygen species, chromatin decondensation. Tonsil secrete high levels TNF, inhibiting TNF preve...
