It was aimed to investigate the role of tonsil ultrasonography(USG) in the diagnosis of pediatric OSAS.
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.
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( < .05).
Preoperative tonsil USG may be helpful test in children with suspected OSAS.
旨在探讨扁桃体超声检查（USG）在小儿阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征（OSAS）诊断中的作用。
在因OSAS行扁桃体切除术（±腺样体切除术）前，对所有患者进行扁桃体USG和多导睡眠图（PSG）检查。术前用布罗茨基扁桃体分级量表测量扁桃体体积，并在术后通过水置换试验测量。
本研究共纳入47例患者。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。扁桃体USG测量的扁桃体大小、PSG呼吸暂停低通气指数（AHI）和问卷调查得分之间存在统计学显著相关性（P<0.05）。
术前扁桃体USG可能是疑似OSAS儿童的一项有用检查。
