| Abstract: | The relationship between adenoidal-nasopharyngeal ratios (AN ratios) and sinusitis were evaluated in 404 children. The AN ratios of children with snoring, mouth breathing, or nasal obstruction (major symptoms of adenoidal enlargement) were significantly higher than those of children without these symptoms. However, the AN ratios of children with sinusitis were almost equal to those of normal children. |
