Those with adenoidal hypertrophy with normal CT images, observed and measured air-space and the posterior nasopharyngeal soft tissue, adenoids index. Results adenoidal hypertrophy, as seen by CT axial deformation of nasopharyngeal air-space narrowing, posterior soft-tissue thickening of left and right side symmetry, density, uniformity, pharyngeal recess, and the majority of pharyngeal ostium of eustachian tube looming on the horizon, a few showed unclear, pharynx parapharyngeal space clear, adjacent bone without damage to varying degrees, affected by choanal obstruction, more with paranasal sinusitis, otitis media, complicated by enlarged tonsils, adenoids index ≥ 0.70. Conclusion CT diagnosis of adenoid hypertrophy is superior to nasopharyngeal endoscopy and nasopharyngeal lateral view measure. Keywords: adenoids, hypertrophic; computerized tomography CT diagnosis of adenoid vegetation in child XING Cheng-yan, ZHAI Feng, XU Chang, et al.Department of Radiology, Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College, Binzhou 256603, China 【Abstract】 Objective To explore the value and standards of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing adnoid vegetation.Methods Analysing CT imagings of normal and vegetation of adenoid, observing to measure nasopharynx air space and retropharyngeal wall soft tissue and calculating adenoids index value were carried out.Results On the CT transverse imaging of adenoid vegetation, nasopharynx air space was deformed and narrow, retropharyngeal wall soft tissue was thickened symmetricly, the density was even, the major of pharyngeal recess and pharyngeal opening of auditory tube was ambiguous therefore, minority was not pure, parapharyngeal space
