Transcervical ultrasonographic examination of palatine tonsil size and its correlation with age, gender and body-mass index in healthy children
2017, International Journal of Pediatric OtorhinolaryngologyCitation Excerpt :Some techniques for measurement of the tonsils have been developed, although the most frequently used techniques are the clinical grading and lateral radiography. Clinical grading of tonsillar size is based on their transversal extension the midline [8]. The depth or vertical aspects, however, are not regarded in the physical examination.
Palatine tonsil size and its correlation with subjective tonsil size in patients with sleep-disordered breathing
2009, Otolaryngology - Head and Neck SurgeryCitation Excerpt :There have been reports about the relationship between subjective tonsil size and real palatine tonsil size. Brodsky et al reported that children with snoring or apnea had larger tonsil volume and length than those without obstructive symptoms in spite of the same subjective tonsil size.10 A recent study reported a strong correlation between tonsil volume and subjective tonsil size in children with SDB.11
Adenotonsillectomy in the context of obstructive sleep apnoea
2009, Paediatric Respiratory ReviewsCitation Excerpt :To this end, the identification of associated physical conditions is extremely important. Studies have variously suggested that adenoid size, tonsil size or the airway dimensions are important in defining the risk for OSA.9,10 Assessment of the size of the tonsils and adenoids is therefore considered important and various methods for this have been advocated.
