Adenotonsillar Hypertrophy: The Relationship Between Obstruction Type and Attention in Children.

We aimed to investigate the attention function, which is a parameter of cognitive functions, at different obstruction types (adenoid and tonsil hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy only, tonsillar hypertrophy only, and normal) of oral cavity and nasopharynx, and the relationship between obstruction level, type, and attention (N = 80). To evaluate attention function, Stroop test has been performed. Eighteen-item Quality of Life (OSA-18) and Brouillette Symptom Score questionnaires have been completed with each child's parents.
