Resumen

Con el objeto de determinar el porcentaje de remisiones espontáneas en los casos de amigdalitis de repetición se realizó un estudio que incluía a pacientes pediátricos vistos entre 1994 y 1999. Para ello revisamos los 123 casos puestos en lista de espera quirúrgica por amigdalitis de repetición (AR) durante este período, sin patología adenoidea asociada. En sólo 23 niños (18,7%), se resolvieron los episodios de AR espontáneamente tras un tiempo medio de 9 meses y, por tanto, fueron retirados de la lista de espera. En conclusión, consideramos que no existe justificación para pensar que períodos largos de espera resuelven de forma espontánea muchos casos de AR.

Abstract

In order to assess the rate of spontaneous remission in children with recurrent acute tonsillitis (RAT), we revised the pediatric patients who were seen between 1994 and 1999. For this purpose, 123 cases that were on the waiting list for tonsillectomy under the indication of RAT without associated adenoid disease were selected. Only 23 (18.7%) of the children who were included in the study were removed from the waiting list after a mean time of 9 months because of spontaneous remission of the disease. Thus, there is no justification for claiming that long waiting lists for tonsillectomy are frequently associated with spontaneous remission of RAT.
