Summary

Chronic tonsillar hypertrophy is one of the most common causes of upper airway obstruction in children. Currently, several clinical staging systems are used to evaluate airway obstruction due to tonsillar hypertrophy. However, as these staging systems are based on a physical examination, it is not always possible to accurately evaluate the tonsil size, especially in children, and so objective and reliable methods are required in this field. In this study, the investigators aimed to develop a new method for the objective evaluation of airway obstruction due to tonsillar hypertrophy using submental ultrasonography (US) in children.

Conditions

  • Obstructive Tonsillar Hypertrophy

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The ROC analysis

The Brodsky clinical stage and ultrasonographic data of the participants will be matched, and the diagnostic value of the submental US in the classification of tonsil hypertrophy as non-obstructive and obstructive will be evaluated. A ROC analysis will be used to determine the optimal cut-off value.
