adenoids

(ăd`ənoidz'), common name for the pharyngeal tonsils, spongy masses of lymphoid tissue that occupy the nasopharynx, the space between the back of the nose and the throat. Normally the adenoids, like the palatine tonsils located on either side of the throat, help prevent infection in the surrounding tissues. However, when they become enlarged they interfere with normal breathing and sometimes with hearing. When severely enlarged, adenoids can affect normal dental development, resulting in an alteration of facial expression. Infection of the adenoids is common, the symptoms resembling those of tonsillitis, with which it is frequently associated. Surgical removal of the adenoids is advisable when enlargement and repeated infection interfere with development and health. See respirationrespiration,

Adenoids

(or adenoidal growths), enlarged pharyngeal tonsils, which are located in the upper back portion of the throat behind the nasal passage. Adenoids are most frequently observed in children four to eight years of age. The major symptom of adenoids is difficulty in nasal breathing. As a result, the child’s mouth is almost always open, his teeth grow incorrectly, and he is susceptible to chronic head colds. When the adenoids are extremely enlarged, the voice takes on nasal tones, causing m and η to sound like b and d. By blocking the opening of the eustachian tubes, which connect the middle ear to the throat, adenoids cause repeated ear infections that lead to gradual impairment of hearing. Children with adenoids often suffer from insomnia, which results in decreased attention span and poor memory. Sometimes bed-wetting occurs. The treatment of adenoids is surgical. After their removal, nasal breathing does not return immediately, and breathing exercises are beneficial (on the advice of a physician).

adenoids

ad·e·noid

(ad'ĕ-noyd), Avoid the misspelling/mispronunciation adnoid.1. Glandlike; of glandular appearance. Synonym(s): adeniform2. Epithelial and lymphatic unencapsulated structure located on the posterior wall of the nasopharynx. It undergoes absolute and relative enlargement during childhood and regresses during puberty. Inflammatory and physiologic enlargement is associated with otitis media, nasal obstruction, sinusitis, and obstructive sleep apnea. Synonym(s): tonsilla pharyngealis [TA], Luschka gland (1) , Luschka tonsil, pharyngeal tonsil, third tonsil, tonsilla adenoidea [adeno- + G. eidos, appearance]

Adenoids

(1) Adenoid glands, pharyngeal tonsil Lymphoid tissue that forms a prominence on the wall of the pharyngeal recess of the nasopharynx.
(2) A popular term for adenoidal hypertrophy, see there.

ad·e·noids

(ad'ĕ-noydz) 1. A normal collection of unencapsulated lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx. Also called pharyngeal tonsils. 2. Common terminology for the large (normal) pharyngeal tonsils of children. [G. adēn, gland, + eidos, resemblance]

adenoids

Collections of overgrown gland-like tissue, present on the back wall of the nose above the tonsils in children, which shrivel and disappear in adolescence or early adult life. The adenoids contain LYMPHOCYTES and are part of the body's defence (immune) system.

Patient discussion about adenoids

Q. When should the tonsils and/or adenoids should be removed? A. Currently the tonsillectomy is recommended in the presence of 6 episodes of throat infection (Group A strep pharyngitis) in one year or 3-4 episodes in each of 2years. Adenoidectomy may be recommended when tympanostomy tube surgery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tympanostomy_tube) failed to prevent ear infection.
Another thing to consider is the presence of oral breathing - the constant use of the mouth for breathing in small children may lead to malformation of the facial bones that would necessitate more extensive surgeries later in life.
