Book Description
Excerpt from The International Journal of Orthodontia, Oral Surgery, and Radiography, Vol. 8: January-December, 1922 The laryngologist and rhinologist specializing in the treatment of faucial and nasal conditions, which require the increase of space for free nasal breath ing, are often led to surgically remove some of the tissues that should remain if it be possible to keep the particular tissue in normal health without the operation. Many of these forms of treatment have proved unsuccessful in the long run. The presence of adenoid tissue is normal, but when it becomes inflamed and swollen, as from the forced restriction of air currents in breathing, it clogs the nasal or pharyngeal space and interferes with respiration. The con gestion of these tissues, as with other body tissue, results from the initial irritation, which in such cases is generally caused, it is thought, by the strained force of the air through the restricted areas of the air passages.
