High-Yield Explanation
Adenoid hyperophy/ Enlarged adenoids It is the unusual growth ("hyperophy") of the adenoid tonsil. Firstly described and adenoidectomy performed by the Danish physician Wilhelm Meyer (1824-1895) in Copenhagen in 1868. He described that a long term adenoid hyperophy will cause an obstruction of the nasal airways. These will lead to a dentofacial growth anomaly that was defined as adenoid facies. There is very little lymphoid tissue in the nasopharynx of young babies; humans are born without substantial adenoids.
