They were investigated clinically to verify the presence of adenoid enlargement, including nasal endoscopy and plain X-ray to the nasopharynx (soft tissue neck lateral view). Enlarged adenoids was diagnosed in seven (7%) patients. They were visualized endoscopically, shown radiologically and confirmed by histopathology. Adenoidectomy successfully relieved the patient's symptoms without recurrence for the follow-up period of an average of 18 months. Nasal endoscopic examination should be included in the diagnostic work-up of nasal disorders. If not available, X-ray to nasopharynx should be included in the investigation of adult patients with nasal obstruction. The diagnosis of adenoids enlargement in adults should not be disregarded on account of age only.  ISSN : 1319-1004  Journal Name : Medical Science Journal  Volume : 1  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 2005 AH 2005 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Sunday, October 4, 2009  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email طارق جمال طارق جمال Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  20814.doc doc Adenoids in Adults Back To Researches Page
