EmbryologyEmbryology
• 8 weeks: Tonsillar fossa and palatine tonsils develop from the dorsal wing of the 1st pharyngeal pouch and the ventral wing of the 2nd pouch; tonsillar pillars originate from 2nd/3rd arches
• Crypts 3-6 months; capsule 5th month; germinal centers after birth
• 16 weeks: Adenoids develop as a subepithelial infiltration of lymphocytes

Common Diseases of the Common Diseases of the Tonsils and AdenoidsTonsils and Adenoids
• Acute adenoiditis/tonsillitis
• Recurrent/chronic adenoiditis/tonsillitis
• Obstructive hyperplasia
• Malignancy
04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 7
Acute AdenotonsillitisAcute Adenotonsillitis
Etiology
• 5-30% bacterial; of these 39% are beta-lactamase-producing (BLPO)
• Anaerobic BLPO
GABHS most important pathogen because of potential sequelae
• Throat culture
• Treatment
04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 8
Microbiology of Microbiology of AdenotonsillitisAdenotonsillitis
Most common organisms cultured from patients with chronic tonsillar disease (recurrent/chronic infection, hyperplasia):
• Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus)
• H.influenza
• S. aureus
• Streptococcus pneumoniae
Tonsil weight is directly proportional to bacterial load.

Acute AdenotonsillitisAcute Adenotonsillitis
Differential diagnosisInfectious mononucleosisMalignancy: lymphoma, leukemia, carcinomaDiptheriaScarlet feverAgranulocytosis
04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 10
Medical ManagementMedical Management• PCN is first line, even if throat culture is negative for
GABHS• For acute UAO: NP airway, steroids, IV abx, and immediate
tonsillectomy for poor response• Recurrent tonsillitis: PCN injection if concerned about
noncompliance or antibiotics aimed against BLPO and anaerobes
• For chronic tonsillitis or obstruction, antibiotics directed against BLPO and anaerobes for 3-6 weeks will eliminate need for surgery in 17%
• Co-amoxiclav or clindamycin or PCN+Rifampin

Obstructive HyperplasiaObstructive Hyperplasia
• Adenotonsillar hypertrophy most common cause of SDB in children
• Diagnosis:snoring, restless sleep, FTT, daytime symptoms… poor mentation, decreased attn span, poor scholastic performance, dysphagia, nocturnal enuresis, chronic mouth breathing
• Indications for polysomnography• Interpretation of polysomnography• Perioperative considerations
• Interpretation of polysomnography:
Indications for surgical intervention
>1 apnea in 1 hour
Central apnea + o2sat<90%
O2sat<92%
CO2>53
CO2>45 in more than 60% of test time

Indications for TonsillectomyIndications for Tonsillectomy
Paradise study • Frequency criteria: 7 episodes in 1 year or 5
episodes/year for 2 years or 3 episodes/year for 3 years
• Clinical features (one or more): T 38.3, cervical LAD (>2cm) or tender LAD; tonsillar/pharyngeal exudate; positive culture for GABHS; antibiotic treatment
04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 23
Indications for TonsillectomyIndications for Tonsillectomy
AAO-HNS:• 3 or more episodes/year• Hypertrophy causing malocclusion, UAO• PTA unresponsive to nonsurgical mgmt• Halitosis, not responsive to medical therapy• UTE, suspicious for malignancy• Individual considerations

Pathophysiology of corpulmonale in OSA:
1.URT obstruction2.Alveolar hypovantilation3.Chronic hypoxia and hypercapnea4.Respiratory acidosis5.Vasoconstriction of alveolar capillaries6.Right atrial dilatation7.Pulmonary hypertension 8.Corpulmonale and CHF

Pathophysiology of enuresis:1.SDB 2.REM abnormalities3.Irregularities in ADH secretion
Pathophysiology of FTT:1.SDB2.REM abnormalities3.Irregularities in GH secretion, may sometimes stop totally
Both return to normal following A&T

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is the mostCommon psychiatric diagnosis in children.
In direct correlation with Sleep Disordered Breathing(SDB)
Pathophysiology uncertain, Maybe due to abnormal sleep pattern
Neurocognitive development delays:Healthy sleeping pattern: important component of brain growthFrontal cortex growth continues up to pubertyMost critical age: 3-7

Indications for AdenoidectomyIndications for Adenoidectomy
Paradise study • 28-35% fewer acute episodes of OM with adenoidectomy in
kids with previous tube placement
• Adenoidectomy or T & A not indicated in children with recurrent OM who had not undergone previous tube placement
Gates et al • Recommend adenoidectomy with M & T as the initial
surgical treatment for children with MEE > 90 days and CHL > 20 dB

Lateral neck films are useful only when history and physical exam are not in agreement.
Accuracy of lateral neck films is dependent on proper positioning and patient cooperation.

04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 47
Case study
• 13 year old female referred by PCP for frequent throat infections
• “She’s always sick. She’s been on four different antibiotics this year.”
• You call her pediatrician… he is out of town and his nurse can’t find the chart
04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 48
Case study
• No known medical problems, no prior surgical procedures
• Takes motrin for menustrual cramps
• No personal history of bleeding other than occasional nose bleeds and extremely heavy periods.
• Family history unknown. Patient is adopted.
04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 49
Case study• Physical exam is unremarkable. • Mom breaks down in tears when you tell her you
do not have enough documentation of illness to warrant T & A. “I had to go on welfare because I’ve missed so much work from her being out sick.”
• You hesitate. She adds, “Her grades have dropped from all A’s to all F’s. If she misses any more school, she’ll be held back.”
04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 50
Case study• You confirm with her pediatrician that she has had
4 episodes of tonsillitis this year and agree to T & A.
• Because of her history of epistaxis and menorrhagia, you order a PT, PTT, CBC, BT.
• She has a mild microcytic anemia and prolonged bleeding time.
• You order vWF activity level and consult hematology
04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 51
Case study
• She has a subnormal level of vWF, which responds to a DDAVP challenge (rise in vWF and Factor VII greater than 100%).
• You advise her to stop taking motrin.
• Before surgery, she receives desmopressin 0.3 microg/kg IV over 30 min and amicar 200mg/kg.
04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 52
Case study
• She receives the same dose of DDVAP 12 hours postoperatively and every morning.
• Amicar is given 100mg/kg PO q 6 hr.
• Before each dose of DDAVP, serum sodium is drawn. Sodium levels drop to 130.
• Desmopressin is discontinued and substituted with cryoprecipitate.
04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 53
Case study
• Patient presents to the ER on POD # 7 complaining of intermittent bleeding from her mouth.
• You order cryoprecipitate, draw a Factor VII level and CBC, and call her hematologist.
• Hemoglobin has dropped from 11.9 to 9.6.
04/18/23 rhinoplastyman@yahoo.com 54
Case study
• PE reveals no active bleeding; an old clot is present
• You establish IV access, admit the patient for overnight observation, have her gargle with ice water, and administer crypoprecipitate
• No further bleeding occurs, patient is discharged the next day
