[Relationship between adenoids hypertrophy and secretory otitis media].

Objective: To investigae the cause of secretory otitis media resulting from adenoids hypertrophy and the relationship between adenoids hypertrophy and secretory otitis media.

Method: According to the grades of adenoids hypertrophy, 140 children were divided into two groups: the group of middle-grade and the group of pathological hypertrophy. The effect about the degree of adenoids hypertrophy resulted in the descendent of middle ear function and the difference of incidence of secretory otitis media were analyzed.

Result: The incidence of secretory otitis media and the pattern of tympanic press were distinct difference in two groups.

Conclusion: The results suggested that there was a positive correlation among the grades of adenoids hypertrophy, the descendent degree of middle ear function and the incidence of secretory otitis media.
