Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: To determine the clinical presentation, imaging features and outcomes of children with adenoid hypertrophy in our setting.
UNASSIGNED: A retrospective study.
UNASSIGNED: The paediatric clinic of a private hospital in Enugu.
UNASSIGNED: 51 children, aged 2 to 108 months, with suggestive clinical features and radiographic report of adenoid hypertrophy who presented over 3 years.
UNASSIGNED: Clinical information was obtained from the patient\'s medical records. Data was analysed for the clinical characteristics of the patients, the relationship between the degree of airway narrowing on a postnasal space (PNS) radiograph and treatment outcomes.
UNASSIGNED: Degree of airway narrowing as measured on a PNS radiograph, the type of and outcomes of treatment.
UNASSIGNED: There was an almost equal male (54.7%): female (45.1%) ratio in the occurrence of adenoid hypertrophy, with a mean age of occurrence of 31.50 ± 3.64 months. Noisy breathing was the commonest symptom (94.1%); history of atopic rhinitis in 64.7% of cases and hyperactive airway disease in 45.1% more than 50% of cases with airway narrowing resolved with medical management only.
UNASSIGNED: Adenoid hypertrophy should be considered in evaluating the upper airway in children under five. Paediatricians should be conversant with diagnosing and managing this common cause of upper airway obstruction.
UNASSIGNED: None declared.

摘要：
■为了确定临床表现，在我们的背景下，腺样体肥大儿童的影像学特征和结局。
■一项回顾性研究。
■埃努古一家私立医院的儿科诊所。
■51个孩子，2至108个月，具有暗示的临床特征和表现超过3年的腺样体肥大的影像学报告。
■从患者的病历中获得临床信息。数据分析了患者的临床特征，鼻后间隙（PNS）X线片上气道狭窄程度与治疗结果之间的关系。
■在PNS射线照片上测量的气道狭窄程度，治疗的类型和结果。
■腺样体肥大的发生率为男性（54.7%）：女性（45.1%），平均发病年龄为31.50±3.64个月。嘈杂的呼吸是最常见的症状（94.1％）；64.7％的病例中有过敏性鼻炎病史，45.1％的病例中有超过50％的气道狭窄病例仅通过医疗管理解决。
■在评估五岁以下儿童的上呼吸道时，应考虑腺样体肥大。儿科医生应熟悉诊断和管理上呼吸道阻塞的常见原因。
