Brief summary
This study aimed to detect tongue swelling induced by the pressure exerted by tongue depressor; swelling detection was made through tongue surface area measurement using ultrasonography (USG) in pediatric patients who underwent adenoidectomy surgeries.
Detailed description
The tongue is an ideal organ for ultrasonography (USG) evaluation. This study aimed to detect the occurrence of tongue swelling through USG examination and to educate clinicians about the association between subacute tongue swelling and tongue depressor in pediatric patients.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTUltrasonography imaging
This study aimed to measure the tongue surface areas of the patients two times both of study and control groups with ultrasonography imaging to compare the tongue surface areas.
