Streszczenie

Akromegalia jest rzadką chorobą, której objawy są spowodowane nadmiernym wydzielaniem hormonu wzrostu (GH) przez łagodny guz przedniego płata przysadki mózgowej – gruczolak. Autorzy przedstawiają dane z piśmiennictwa dotyczące dotychczasowych badań wpływu choroby na dysfunkcję: ucha, nosa, zatok, gardła i krtani.
