Adenoid Hypertrophy: an Unusual Cause of Nasal Obstruction in Adults

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: Introduction Adenoid is collection of lymphoid tissue in the postero-superior wall of the nasopharynx. The term Adenoid hypertrophy indicates non-physiological enlargement of the nasopharyngeal tonsils [1]. This adenoid hypertrophy could be missed because of difficulty of examination of the nasopharynx. We present a rare case of an adult of 22 years of age presented with severe bilateral nasal obstruction due to adenoid hypertrophy.
