Description: Adenoids Diagnosis Examination of postnasal space is possible in some young children and an adenoid mass can be seen with a mirror. A rigid or a flexible nasopharyngoscope is also useful to see details of the nasopharynx in a cooperative child. Soft tissue lateral radiograph of nasopharynx will reveal the size of adenoids and also the extent to which nasopharyngeal air space has been compromised . Detailed nasal examination should always be conducted to exclude other causes of nasal obstruction.
