Abstract
There was no significant difference in right ventricular function between the children with and without adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Whereas, there was shortening of tricuspid end-diastolic time in group I. However, five patients having adenotonsillar hypertrophy developed a cardiac dysfunction which was not observed in the control group. Therefore, we assumed a correlation between adenotonsillar hypertrophy and possible silent carditis following frequent tonsillitis.
