MARZO MATOS, Ramón  and  RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ, Ana Isis. Treatment of chronic adenoamygdalitis in the child. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2010, vol.82, n.3, pp.38-48. ISSN 0034-7531.

Doubtless, surgical treatment of the chronic adenoamygdalitis historically has been and at world level one of the more frequent surgical interventions in childhood. Until past years it has been carried out without valuated criteria and in an indiscriminate way becoming it in one of the most polemic surgeries in Pediatrics and in Otorhinolaryngology. In past decades in many world areas forums have been held to arrive to a consensus among clinicians and surgeons, aimed to unify the diagnostic criteria and of surgical indications. In present paper the more updated indications of these interventions are reviewed and the presentation of criteria helping to establish common basis to pediatricians, primary care physicians and otorhinolaryngologists that is the leading objective.

Keywords : Adenoamygdalitis; adenoamigdalectomy.
