They. were investigated clinically to verify the presence of adenoid enlargement, including nasal endoscopy and plain X-ray to the nasopharynx (soft tissue neck lateral view). Enlarged adenoid was diagnosed in seven (7%) patients. They were visualized endoscopically, shown radiologically and confirmed by histopathology. Adenoidectomy successfully relieved The patient’s symptoms without recurrence for the follow-up period of an average of 18 months. Nasal endoscopic examination should be included in the diagnostic work-up of nasal disorders. If not available, X-ray to nasopharynx should be included in the investigation of adult patients with nasal obstruction.
