Adenoids of patients with mucopolysaccharidoses demonstrate typical alterations.

2015

Abstract Objective Tonsillar hypertrophy caused by the progressive accumulation of partially degraded glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) within the cells is a typical symptom in patients with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). We studied the tissue of adenoids and tonsils of patients suffering from MPS with special regard to characteristic morphological features serving as possible markers for diagnosis. Methods Adenoids of 87 patients and tonsils of 4 patients with MPS (2 patients with MPS I, 7 MPS II, 5 MPS IV and 10 MPS VI and 63 controls) and controls were examined. Examinations were repeated in a blinded manner by two pathologists. Results The key feature observed was a subepithelial “clearing” on sc…

Die Tonsillotomie mit der bipolaren Koagulationsschere

2008

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, tonsillotomy is an accepted operating procedure for the diagnosis of tonsillar hyperplasia in small children. Up to now many different techniques such as laser, radiofrequency, coblation or micro-debrider have been used. In this study, for the first time bipolar coagulation scissors were utilized. METHODS: Up to December 2006, a total of 91 children with benign tonsillar hyperplasia were tonsillotomized by bipolar coagulation scissors. Of these 91 children, 38 (average age 74 months) were recruited for this study. Pre-operative and post-operative complaints were documented and the success of the operation was evaluated by the parents. RESULTS: In more than 90 % of the …

Effects of adenotonsillectomy on neurocognitive and behavioural function in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

2018

Effects of adenotonsillectomy on neurocognitive and behavioural function in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Objectives: Aim of this study is to verify the presence of neurocognitive, neurobehavioral or sleep disturbances in children affected by adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) and verify their improvement after Adeno-Tonsillectomy (AT). Methods: Eighty children suffering from adenotonsillar hypertrophy and OSAS were recruited for AT in the ENT Department of the University of Palermo. All the children underwent clinical evaluation, including rhinofibroscopy for grading the obstruction due to the adenotonsillar hypertrophy (before and 6 …
