X-ray of a skull showing enlarged adenoids (right of upper teeth). Adenoids are glands behind the nasal passage that help to trap microbes entering the body through the nose and mouth. They are usually only found in children, and start to recede after 5 years of age, usually becoming absent by adulthood. | |
