Background: Snoring in children, is associated Kith adenotonsillar hypertrophy and sinusitis which contribute to upper airway obstruction, so we studied the sinusitis and adenoid size of snoring children with plain radiography Materials and method: Fifty patients having snoring, nasal obstruction in our hospital between November 2001 and November 2002 were studied using plain radiology PNS(water's view) and Neck lateral view(adenoid size with A/N ratio) Results: 1. In oriental medicine, Hu-Bi means laryngopharyngeal edema and obstruction, laryngopharyngeal disease are due to Hwa-Yeoul( fire and hot), sinus disease are due to Fung-Han(wind and cold) and Fung-Yeoul(wind and hot). 2. Age ranged from 2 to 17 year-old ( mean age: 6 years), 5-7 year-old were 18 patients (36%). Age of on set, 25 patients were 1-4 year-old (50%). 3. Of the 50 snoring patients, 37 patients were sinusitis(74%), 20 patients had enlarged adenoid(40%). Of the 20 large adenoid patients, 19 patients were sinusitis(95%). 4. Of the 50 snoring patients, size of tonsil were flowed. Fifteen were severe(3+), 17 patients were moderate(2+) and 15 patients were mild(1+). Of the 20 enlarged adenoid patients, size of tonsil flowed. Five were severe(3+), 11 patients were moderate(2+) and 4 patients were mild(1+). Conclusion : Of the 50 Snoring patients, 37 patients showed sinusitis(74%), 32 patients showed large tonsil(64%), 20 patients showed large adenoid(40%).

Hypertropied palatine tonsil is a common disorder in pediatric otolaryngology. It could be easily observed and adenoid vegetation could induce maxillary sinusitis by the obstruction of nasopharynx and choanae. This is a study on the relationship of the hypertropied palatine tonsil, 42cases, with maxillary sinusitis and adenoid vegetation The results was as followings ; 1. The sex distribution was male 30cases($71.4\%$), female 12cases($28.6\%$) and age distribution was from 3 to 17year-old. 2. Hypertropied palatine tonsil distribution was the degree of both 3, 2cases($4.8\%$), one 3 the other 2, 3cases($7.l\%$), both 2, 22cases($52.4\%$), one 2 the other 1, 9cases($21.4\%$), both 1, 5 cases($11.9\%$). and only one 1, 1case($2.3\%$). 3. By the PNS X-ray, there were resulted 29 cases($69.0\%$) both maxillary sintis, 4cases($9.5\%$) only one maxillary sinusitis and 9cases($21.4\%$) norma] sinus. 4. By the Head latera] X-ray, there were resulted 13cases($31.0\%$) large adenoid, 24cases($57.l\%$) mediate adenoid, and 5cases($l1.9\%$) small adenoid.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma usually grows in the trachea or near its bifurcation and causes obstruction of the air way. We recently experienced a 33 year-old male patient who had adenoid cystic carcinoma in the left main bronchus with the chief complaint of productive cough. On the bronchoscopy, the mass obstructed the left main bronchus completely and had nodularity and increased vascularity.The trachea was shifted to the left side and the lower lobe of the left lung was atelectatic on chest X-ray and computed axial tomogram.He underwent left tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy and lymph node dissection through bilateral thoracotomy. At first,we attempted left tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy through the left thoracotomy,however, it was very difficult to perform carinoplastic procedure after sleeve resection of 2.5cm of distal trachea and 1cm of proximal right main bronchus including whole left lung because of poor operative field and difficulty in the anastomosis of the right main bronchus to the distal end of the trachea without tension.Therefore after radical resection of the left lung we made right thoracotomy,through which we could anastomosed the distal trachea and right main bronchus with 4-0 PDS interrupted suture after mobilization of the right hilum without difficulty. The tumor was confirmed to be adenoid cystic carcinoma with metastasis to subcarinal lymph node histopathologically. Postoperative course was uneventful but he needed two bronchoscopic procedure to clear distal airway of the retained bronchial secretion. He was discharged at 14 days after operation with complete recovery.

Purpose: Adenoid hypertrophy is a physical alteration that may affect speech, and a speech disorder can have other negative effects on a child's life. Airway obstruction leads to constricted oral breathing and causes postural alterations of several oro-facial structures, including the mouth, tongue, and hyoid bone. The postural modifications may affect several aspects of speech production. Methods: In this study, we compared articulation errors in 19 children with adenoid hypertrophy (subject group) to those of 33 children with functional articulation disorders independent of anatomical problems (control group). Results: The mean age of the subject group was significantly higher (P=0.016). Substitution was more frequent in the subject group (P=0.003; odds ratio [OR], 1.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23- 2.62), while omission was less frequent (P<0.001; OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.27-0.67). Articulation errors were significantly less frequent in the palatal affricative in the subject group (P=0.047; OR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.07-0.92). The number of articulation errors in other consonants was not different between the two groups. Nasalization and aspiration were significantly more frequent in the subject group (P=0.007 and 0.014; OR, 14.77 and 0.014; 95% CI, [1.62-135.04] and NA, respectively). Otherwise, there were no differences between the two groups. Conclusion: We identified the characteristics of articulation errors in children with adenoid hypertrophy, but our data did not show the relationship between adenoid hypertrophy and oral motor function that has been observed in previous studies. The association between adenoid hypertrophy and oral motor function remains doubtful.

In discussing the effects of adenoids on the development of the face and dentition, it is important to note their influence on the mode of breathing and to relate this to specific facial types and dentition. This study, therefore, assumed that the ability to adapt to individual's neuromuscular complex is various. And tried to investigate the effects of reduced nasal respiratory function on the development of dentition by facial type. This paper is based on children patients with enlarged adenoids and comparing them to data taken from a control group with normal respiratory function. Among the three facial types, the most statistical significant difference was observed from dolichofacial type between experimental and control group. In dolichofacial type, the experimental group showed labioversion of upper incisor, decrease in the width of upper arch, increase in overjet, increase in the rate of cross-bite, and increase in the height of palatal vault. No significant difference was observed between the two groups in the inclination of upper and lower incisors in mesofacial type, but the experimental group was observed to show decrease in the width of upper arch and increase in the height of palatal vault. On the other hand, in brachyfacial type, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in dentition variables except showing linguoversion of upper incisor. The results, which were observed in dolichofacial type, consist with Nordlund's theory of Compression.

The rarity of primary tumor of the trachea, which was recently estimated in a circumscribed population to be 2.7 new cases per million per year, explains the relatively limited experience that has been acquired even by major institutions. Although there may already by a high degree of airway obstruction, tracheal tumors are usually misdiagnosed as bronchial asthma or chronic bronchitis because of its nonspecific symptoms. Surgery is the treatment of choice. Recently, the authors experienced three cases of primary tracheal malignant tumors ; one case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma and two cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma. The authors report on these cases with a review of the literature for give help in differential diagnosis and treatment planing of tracheal tumor.

비강(nasal cavity)파 인두(pharynx)의 주기능의 하나는 상기도(upper respiratory tract) 로서 전비공(anterior nares)을 통해서 들이 마신 공기를 하기도(lower respiratory tract)로 통과시키는 기능이다. 일반적으로 홉기가 전비공에서 후비공(choana)으로 직선으로 통과하지 않고, 전비공에서 흡입된 공기는 후상방으로 높이 올라가 곡선으로 후열(olfactory fissure)을 향하여 후비공쪽으로 지나간다. 그러나 해부학적인 이상 즉, 비후된 비갑개 (turbinate), 아데노이드증식증(adenoid hyperplasia), 비중격만곡(deviation of the nasal septum)등의 여러가지 이 부위의 원인에 의하여 정상 비호흡이 어려워지면 만성 비폐색 (chronic nasal obstruction)이 생기게 되고 따라서 환자는 입이 반쯤 벌리고 구호흡(mouth breathing)을 하게 되며 우둔한 인상을 주고, 상악치아의 발육이상을 초래할 수 있다. 여기에 필자는 이비인후과 영역에서 구호홉을 초래할 수 있는 질환들에 관하여 약술하고자 한다.
