TI  - One of the causes of adenoid hypertrophy in preschool children, allergic rhinitis
AB  - Adenoid hypertrophy is one of the most common causes of upper airway obstruction in childhood. Chronic inflammation around the adenoid tissue is thought to play an
important role in adenoid hypertrophy. Allergic rhinitis is among these chronic inflammatory processes. Twenty-five-month-old male patient presented to otorhinolaryngology
clinic with complaints of nasal obstruction, snoring, sleeping with mouth open at night and occasional shortness of breath while sleeping. His examination did
not show any pathology other than pallor in the nasal mucosa. Adenoid vegetation/nasopharynx ratio was found to be 80% in the examination made by using fiberoptic
nasopharyngolaryngoscope. Tonsillar grade was 1-2 hypertrophic in oropharyngeal examination. In the skin prick test, the patient was found to have grass pollen and tree
pollen sensitivity. Nasal steroid and antihistaminic therapies were started. After treatment, the patient’s adenoid vegetation/nasopharynx ratio and complaints were found
to decrease significantly.
