This study investigatedthe efficacy and safety offluticasone propionate nasal spray in treatment of adenoidal hypertrophic snoring in children.Fifty-six children with adenoidal hypertrophic snoring were enrolled. According to adenoidal-nasopharyngeal ratio (ANR) in lateral nasal X-ray examination,the children were assigned in moderategroup (23 cases) and severegroup (33 cases).The fluticasone propionate nasal spray was used for all patientsfor 4 weeks.In 56 patients, after treatment, compared with before treatment, the snoring, sleep apneaand nasal obstruction scores in moderategroupand the nasal obstruction score in severegroupwere significantly decreased,respectively (P < 0.05).The decreases of snoring, sleep apnea, mouth breathing and nasal obstruction scores after treatment in moderate group were significantly higher than those in severe group, respectively (P <0.001).After treatment, in 18 patients with ateral nasal X-ray examination,the adenoid size was obviously reduced, and the nasopharynx airway was obviously enlarged. The meanANRdropped from 0.76±0.10 to 0.72±0.09(P <0.001).Duringtreatment, only 2 of 56 patients were reported with intranasal dryness and occasional epistaxis, which were self-healed without treatment.Fluticasone propionate nasal spray is effective and safe for treatment of children’s snoring caused by adenoidal hypertrophy.
