“…The main difference between a clinical picture of OSAS in children and adults is the presence of permanent impairment of airflow in children, while in adults these disorders are often variable in time. 52 It is established that the presence of Waldeyer’s ring lymph hypertrophy does not necessarily cause apnoea, even in patients with large tonsils reaching each other and extending to the midline. The number of apnoea episodes was found not to increase with tonsil size, but their duration increased with a deeper impairment to oxyhaemoglobin saturation.…”

Adenoids (nasopharyngeal tonsils), being part of Waldeyer’s ring, are masses of lymphoid tissues located at the junction of the roof and the posterior wall of the nasopharynx. Adenoids play an important role in the development of the immune system and serve as a defence against infections, being the first organs that come into contact with respiratory and digestive antigens. The causes of adenoid hypertrophy are not fully known. They are most likely associated with aberrant immune reactions, infections, environmental exposures and hormonal or genetic factors. The aim of this review is to summarise the current knowledge of adenoid hypertrophy in children and associated diseases. Adenoid hypertrophy has many clinical manifestations that are frequent in the paediatric population and is accompanied by various comorbidities.
