  • Title: Upper airway obstruction and the pharyngeal lymphoid tissue.
    Author: Yonkers AJ, Spaur RC.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 1987 May; 20(2):235-9. PubMed ID: 3299207.
    Abstract:
    Enlarged tonsils and adenoids can cause chronic upper airway obstruction that may result in a spectrum of clinical findings ranging from sleep apnea to cor pulmonale and right heart failure. The clinical findings associated with this entity are reversible if the condition is identified early and removal of the obstructing tissue is performed before life-threatening changes occur.
