WALDEYER RING
Waldeyer's tonsillar ring (or pharyngeal lymphoid ring) is an anatomical term describing the Lymphoid tissue ring located in the pharynx and to the back of the oral cavity. It was named after the nineteenth century German anatomist Heinrich Wilhelm Gottfried von Waldeyer-Hartz. The ring consists of (from superior to inferior): Pharyngeal tonsil (also known as 'adenoids' when infected) Tubal tonsil (where Eustachian tube opens in the nasopharynx) Palatine tonsils (commonly called "the tonsils" in the vernacular, less commonly termed "faucial tonsils") Lingual tonsils

AdenotonsillectomyIndications
Loud snoring, mouth breathing, sleep pauses or breath holding, gasping, enuresis and restless sleeping. Daytime manifestations: hypersomnolence, AM headache, hyponasal speech, chronic nasal obstruction w/ or w/o rhinorrhea.
AdenotonsillectomyIndications
AdenotonsillectomyIndications
Large tonsils can interfere with pharyngeal phase of swallowing. Long face syndrome
No clinical trails support adenotonsillectomy for halitosis.
Halitosis
Tonsillectomy-Indications
Temperatures above 38.5oC Cervical adenopathy > 2 cm Tonsillar exudate or (+) group A -hemolytic strep. Cx. 7/yr, 5/yr x 2 yrs or 3/yr x 3 yrs. Failure of medical treatment > 3 months in duration with tonsillar inflammation, reasonable if patients have failed aggressive antibiotic therapy.
Dr. owais pg Ist yr ENT SMHS
Chronic tonsillitis
Tonsillectomy-Indications
Asymptomatic carriers that have family members with acute glomerulonephritis, carrier is food handler or hospital worker. Tonsillectomy should be reserved for those refractory to antibioics.
Adenoidectomy-Indications
Poorly understood - possibly caused by obstructive adenoid tissue causing stasis of secretions predisposing the nasal cavity to infection. Proximity of adenoid tissue to eustachian tube Adenoidectomy can be recommended on 1st set of tubes if nasal obstruction and recurrent rhinorrhea is present or on 2nd set of tubes if needed.
Otitis media
AdenotonsillectomyContraindications
Velopharyngeal insufficiency
Overt cleft palate, submucous (covert) cleft Neurologic or neuromuscular abnormality leading to impaired palate function
Hematologic
Anemia Any disorder or hemostasis Surgery should not be undertaken if Hgb is less than 10 gm/dL, or Hct less than 30%.
Dr. owais pg Ist yr ENT SMHS
AdenotonsillectomyContraindications
Immunologic
Infectious: Should not be done in the face of active infection unless urgent obstructive symptoms are present or:
Appropriate antibiotics have been tried and unsuccessful Usually an interval of at least 3 weeks allow the patient to recuperate enough to reduce operative hemorrhage.
Complications
Noniatrogenic complications after adenoidectomy Regrowth of adenoid tissue, particularly in very young children, which may require revision (secondary) adenoidectomy. Hypernasality, because of temporary pain splinting. Persistent hypernasality is rare and probably caused by unrecognized preexisting velopharyngeal weakness. Atlantoaxial subluxation (Grisels syndrome), which presents with persistent torticollis 1-2 weeks after surgery. Iatrogenic complications after adenoidectomy include Dental injury, from intubation or the mouth gag Nasopharyngeal stenosis, caused by excessive tissue removal. Eustachian tube injury, if the torus tubarius is cauterized or denuded.
Complications
Non iatrogenic complications after tonsillectomy Bleeding in 1-2% of children, which is typically delayed (5-7 days); bleeding in the first 24 hours is less common. Most bleeding will stop spontaneously, but generally requires 24 hours of inpatient observation. Initial adjuvant techniques for hemostasis include clot removal, gargling with salt water or hydrogen peroxide, local cautery with silver nitrate sticks, and injection of epinephrine 1:200,000 Persistent bleeding, requiring control in the operating room
1. Rapid sequence anesthesia is used for induction. 2. Bleeding vessels are cauterized or suture ligated 3. Refractory hemorrhage requires external carotid artery embolization by an interventional neuroradiologist. 4. When embolization is unavailable, external carotid artery ligation
Dr. owais pg Ist yr ENT SMHS
Complications
Dehydration, requiring re-admission for hydration Airway obstruction, requiring observation in an intensive setting, parenteral steroids, racemic epinephrine, careful insertion of a nasopharyngeal airway of appropriate length, and consideration for re-intubation if necessary. Post obstructive pulmonary edema, which may result from increased intrathoracic venous and hydrostatic pressure relieved by intubation or surgery. Presenting signs include oxygen desaturation and pink frothy secretions. Diuretics and re-intubation may be needed. Atlantoaxial subluxation (Grisels syndrome), presenting with persistenttorticollis 1-2 weeks after surgery. Neurological or orthopedic consultation
3- Systemic Infections Viruses: - Viral hepatitis Rt. supraclavecular L.N - German measles (cervical LN) Bacteria: T.B
4-German Measle: * OccipitaI L.N. enlargement are nearly always present, closely resembles that of infectious mononucleosis. 5-Infectious Mononucleosis: * Sore throat, Fever, sometimes headache, myalgia. * Bilateral L.N. enlargement, firm, discrete, mobile. * Appear first in posterior cervical area, adjacent to cervical spines, few days later , submandibular L.N. will be enlarged * Palatal petechiae often, are present * Mild splenomegally in 50% of cases *Lymphocytosis in 75% of cases with some atypical lymphocytes.
6- T.B.: * The chiefly affected group is upper cervical group, generalized L.N. enlargement is exceptional. * Unilateral or Bilateral. * Often firm, matted, painful, may become adherent to skin or deep structures. * Cystic areas may occur due to caseation and later on cold abscess formation. * Overlying skin may break down giving T.B. ulcers or sinuses.
7-Syphilis: * Iry $:L.N draining a chancre -Rocky hard, uni Or bilateral, not tender. * 2ry $:-Generalized L.N. enlargement especially posterior triangle of the neck or epitrochlear gp (slightly enlarged, shotty, discrete, painless).
8- LYMPHOMATOUS L. N: *May be associated with constitutional symptoms.(anorexia, fever, weight loss, sweating, .. etc). * Pel Ebstein fever: may be observed in H.D., it is a period of fever lasting for few days or weeks alternating with longer or shorter apyrexial periods . * L.N. usually discrete at start & not tender (but may become tender during febrile periods). * L.N. may increase in size during pyrexial periods and decrease in size during apyrexial periods
a-H.D.: * may be confined to one group at first esp. lower cervical group then later on generalized L.N. enlargement. Glands are: a- moderately enlarged, not tender. b- Firm, rubbery in consistency. c- Discrete, mobile however as a result of later extension outside the capsule glands become matted or fixed b-N.H .L: *Also the cervical group is firstly affected *Rapid rate of growth results in large number of variable sized nodes which are hard in consistency, tend to become fused and fixed to deep structures & may give pressure manifestations.
9- LEUKAEMIC L. N: *May be associated with general manifestations (fever, malaise, anorexia, headache, Hemorhagic tendency) a- Acute Leukaemia: *Late, slightly or moderately enlarged *Soft, discrete esp. cervical L.N. due to oral sepsis *May be tender bone. b-C.L.L: * May affect cervica1 L.N. but mostly all superficial L.N. are enlarged. *The glands usually are (firm, not tender, not matted, usually moderately enlarged, but in advanced stages may be markedly enlarged) c-C.M.L.: *Rare to be manifested by L.N. enlargement.

It is difficult to visualize lymphatic channels using lymphoscintigraphy because of proximity to the injection site. The radiotracer travels fast in the lymphatic vessels. If more than one node is visible, it can be difficult to distinguish first echelon nodes from second-echelon nodes. The SLN may be small and not easily accessible (eg, in the parotid gland).
