The adenoids, also known as tonsillar vegetations or palatine tonsils, are located at the top of the nasopharynx, behind the nasal cavity, above the throat, and consist of a mass of lymphatic tissue. Normally, children between 2 to 10 years old experience adenoid hypertrophy, with the adenoids reaching their largest size at 6 years old and beginning to shrink after 10 years old, disappearing around 13 years of age.
Adenoid hypertrophy often accompanies symptoms such as mouth breathing during sleep, snoring, and nasal congestion. If left untreated for a long time, it may lead to difficulties in breathing and restless sleep.
