[Functional characteristics of the central nervous system in children with pharyngeal tonsil lesions]

The analysis of the clinical and neurophysiological evidence obtained upon examination of children with adenoids has shown that pharyngeal tonsil affection is often accompanied by neurological disorders. Perinatal pathology does not influence significantly EEG alterations. Surgical treatment leads to positive changes of both general condition and neurophysiological indices, but part of the children with perinatal encephalopathy worsen because of aggravation of brain problems and appearance of epiphenomena. It is thought necessary to consider perinatal history when planning treatment policy for children with affection of the pharyngeal tonsil.
