Application of the ultrasound method in otorhinolaryngology and diseases of the head and neck organs.

Abstract

Despite the fact that otorhinolaryngologists have been looking for a solution to
the problem of chronic tonsillitis for a very long time, it remains unresolved. The prevalence of
chronic tonsillitis is not decreasing, but rather increasing. Diseases of the tonsils are characteristic
primarily of the child and adult working population. Chronic tonsillitis attracts attention not only
as an independent disease, but also as a cause of frequent local and especially systemic
complications, which number more than 100. All these facts indicate the unresolved and urgent
problem of chronic disease of the palatine tonsils.
