Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: It was aimed to investigate the role of tonsil ultrasonography(USG) in the diagnosis of pediatric OSAS.
UNASSIGNED: Before tonsillectomy (±adenoidectomy) for OSAS, all patients tonsil USG and polysomnography (PSG) tests were performed. Tonsil volume was measured preoperatively with the Brodsky tonsil grading scale and by postoperative water displacement test.
UNASSIGNED: In total, 47 patients were included in the study. We observed a positive correlation between tonsil volumes measured by preoperative USG and water displacement test postoperatively. There was a statistically significant correlation between tonsil sizes measured by tonsil USG, PSG AHI and questionnaire scores(p < .05).
UNASSIGNED: Preoperative tonsil USG may be helpful test in children with suspected OSAS.

摘要：
■目的探讨扁桃体超声检查（USG）在小儿OSAS诊断中的作用。
■在OSAS的扁桃体切除术（±腺样体切除术）之前，所有患者均进行了扁桃体USG和多导睡眠图(PSG)检查.术前用Brodsky扁桃体分级量表和术后水位移测试测量扁桃体体积。
■总共，47名患者被纳入研究。我们观察到术前USG测量的扁桃体体积与术后水置换试验之间呈正相关。通过扁桃体USG测量的扁桃体大小之间存在统计学上的显着相关性，PSGAHI和问卷得分（p<0.05）。
■术前扁桃体USG可能有助于对疑似OSAS患儿进行检查。
