Özet

Adenotonsillar hypertrophy may be a life threatening pathology because of chronic upper airway obstruction. In the literature there are many studies on chronic effects of upper airway obstruction, however few articles about the effects of acute upper airway obstruction caused by adenotonsillary hypertrophy have been cited. In this article cardiopulmonary performance, blood gases values, roentgenographic features in a case of acute adenotonsillar hypertrophy with respiratory failure which necessitated urgent adenotonsillectomy was presented. It was emphasized that urgent adenotonsillectomy is an effective treatment modality in acute upper airway obstruction caused by adenotonsillar hypertrophy.
