Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of radiology in the assessment of both adenoidal size and the size of the nasopharyngeal airway. There was a good correlation between the preoperative assessment of the size of the adenoid by radiology and the actual size of the adenoid removed at surgery. A method of estimating the size of the nasopharyngeal airway is described. There was a good inverse correlation between the size of the airway and the weight of the adenoid.Mesh：
