Objectives: The purpose of this case study is to report the effect of Gwakyangjeonggisangamibang on adenoidal hypertrophy.
Methods: The subject was a child with adenoidal hypertrophy. This patient was treated with oriental herbal medicine. The
improvement was observed by subjective symptoms and A/N ratio, and OSA-18 survey was performed to compare quality of life before and after the treatment.
Results: After the treatment, the symptoms of adenoidal hypertrophy were relieved. A/N ratio of this child went down from 0.9 to 0.65. Also, the significant OSA-18 score change demonstrated that the patient's quality of life was improved.
Conclusions: This study showed that a conservative treatment using herbal medicine can be an effective choice for adenoidal hypertrophy before deciding to performing an adenoidectomy
