儿童腺样体病变易引起重视,而成年和青年腺样体大多萎缩很少发生病变。Becker近年发现少数超过12岁的青年或成人耳咽管可受腺样体病变影响,腺样体炎症可导致鼓室粘膜水肿并妨碍耳咽管主动通气功能。1988至1990年作者选择腺样体肥大(有些甚至突入耳咽管咽口),其它疗法失败的中耳炎病人12例,年龄11～56岁,全麻下手术。鼻腔内窥镜下,经鼻 Adeno-adeno-associated lesions in children tend to attract attention, while adulthood in adults and adolescents mostly undergoes lesions with fewer lesions. In recent years, Becker found that a small number of young or adult Eustachian tubes over the age of 12 can be affected by adenoid lesions. Adenoid inflammation can lead to tympanic mucosal edema and obstruct the active ventilation of the eustachian tube. From 1988 to 1990, the authors chose adenoid hypertrophy (some even penetrated into the eustachian tube) and 12 patients with otitis media who failed other therapies, aged 11 to 56 years, under general anesthesia.
