Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is a common paediatric/otolaryngological disorder that may be associated with secondary growth or facial growth impairment, sleep disturbances, neurocognitive deficits, or smell loss. Surgical removal of the hypertrophic tissue eliminates the mechanical obstacle of the airways and is therefore curative in most cases. The purpose of the present review is to outline the impact of adenotonsillar hypertrophy and adenotonsillectomy on growth, facial growth, sleep, behaviour and smell.
