Chronic tonsillitis
This is a term for a chronic inflammation of
the palatine tonsils
Chronic tonsillitis was chosen, where the
following triad of the signs should be isolated
a) complaints in the case history, i.e. presence
of some clinical picture;
b) disruption of the tonsillar function;
c) rough morphological changes during a
histological examination
Chronic tonsillitis - pathogenesis
disruption of the drainage function of the
lacunae, accumulation of a secretion and waste
products of microbes;
disturbance of tissue metabolism in the tonsils;
reduction of barrier properties of the tonsils,
including production of secretory immunoglobulins A;
appearance of hyperergic reactions in the form of
frequent anginae and metatonsillar
complications.
Chronic tonsillitis
Compensated tonsillitis clinically manifests
itself with absence of any complaints and
presence of only local signs of a chronic
inflammation of the tonsils. It is usually
revealed during prophylactic examinations.
Local signs of tonsillitis
Unpleasant
mouth
odor
Unpleasant
feeling in
the throat
Lymph nodes
are small and
dense
Pus or tonsil
stones in
lacunae
Local signs of tonsillitis - changes in
the palatine arches
Hyperemia
Cicatricles
formation
Slight
swelling
HUPERTROPHY of PHARYNGEAL
LYMPHOID RING
The tonsillar apparatus of the
pharynx begins to actively perform
its function since the moment of the
baby's birth and certain conditions
may cause
its hypertrophy

GLAND
the tonsil hangs over
the choanae - the 1st
degree;
it closes them by half-
the 2nd degree;
and if 2/3 of the
choanae are closed —
the 3rd degree of the
hypertrophy, or
adenoids of the 3'd
degree.
The degrees of adenoids
І ст – the 1/3 of vomer is
closed
ІІ ст –the ½ of vomer
is closed
ІІІ ст – the hole vomer
is closed
The symptoms of adenoids
Nasal obstruction
The affection of nasal drainage –
Nasal cavity full of thick discharge
The secondary infection
Purulent discharge

HYPERTROPHY of PALATINE
GLAND
Hypertrophy of the
palatine tonsils is well
seen during median
pharyngoscopy and has
3 degrees too (the 3
one - if the tonsils come
into contact with each
other along the median
line).
