Abstract:
Persistent adenoid is a common condition that affects many children and adults. This can cause breathing difficulties, snoring, and other respiratory problems. The condition can also affect the development of the facial structure and cause abnormal growth of the jaw and teeth. The study aimed to investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics of persistent adenoid and its secondary effects. A total of 64 patients with adenoid hypertrophy were included in the study, and they were evaluated through various clinical and pathological examinations. Nasal obstruction was present in almost all cases. Ethmoid nasal polyps were seen in 51.6% of participants. The results showed that persistent adenoid can lead to various secondary effects on the respiratory system, including Eustachian tube defect and otitis media in 20.3% of cases. The study highlights the importance of early diagnosis and timely treatment of persistent adenoid to prevent its secondary effects.
