The nasal tonsil (adenoid) or nasopharyngeal tonsil is located in a hidden place at the back of the nasal cavity, at the top of the pharynx, right next to the openings in the auditory tube. The adenoid is part of the ring of lymph tissue (Waldeyer’s ring) in the oral cavity and pharynx (which includes the tonsils, the lingual tonsil, the lymph tissues in the pharyngeal and maxillofacial mucosa), which is an important factor in controlling infections, and it is the first immunological screening station of infections targeting the body.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Abnormally enlarged adenoids can cause and maintain nasal respiratory distress, rhinolalia, snoring, sleeping with open mouth, stagnation of nasal discharge, and acute\/chronic sinusitis by closing the nasopharynx. Closing the auditory tubes\u2019 openings, it can lead to acute and chronic otitis media, temporary or permanent hearing loss. Stagnant and runny nasal discharge can lead to coughs, laryngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, and it can worsen existing asthmatic symptoms.<\/p>\n

In adulthood, the nasal tonsil withers, and if it remains, its removal and histological examination is required.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
