  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 The effect of adenotomy on secretory otitis media (SOM) in children has been reconsidered recently. However, it seems to be unreasonable to evaluate its real effect on SOM without objective evalualion for adenotomy. So the authors developed a new method of measuring the degree of adenoid hypertrophy using high voltage radiography of the epipharynx.

 The maximum perpendicular length from the top of the adenoid eminence to the base line which is tangent to the front of the anterior tuberculum of the atras and to the front of the sella was measured.

 There was a significant relationship between the degree of adenoid hypertrophy and the degree of air-bone gap in SOM. It was concluded that this simple measurement method produced the reference points for determination of indication of adenotomy, and that SOM cases with adenoid hypertrophy of over 16 mm in this method were good candidates for adenotomy.
