Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between lateral radiological measurements and quality of life in children with adenoid hypertrophy. Material and Method: 22 children with adenoid hypertrophy were included in study. Survey obstructive sleep apnea 18 was used to assess the quality of life. Adenoid nasopharynx ratio was used to asses lateral radiological measurements. Results were analyzed statistically. Results: The mean value of obstructive sleep apnea 18 survey was 77.81(SD: 15.57) and the mean value of adenoid nasopharynx ratio was 0.70(SD:0.08). Spearmen correlation coefficient was calculated as 0.81. Discussion: The results of obstructive sleep apnea 18 and adenoid nasopharynx ratio was correlated
