The use of Dolphin software for the acquisition of a 3D printed prototype of the nasopharyngeal adenoidal region seems promising. These prototypes may be a practical and readily available alternative for the assessment of the nasopharyngeal obstructed area. CBCT in children must be taken under strong solid indications. Early referral to an OHNS for a full assessment remains the main objective in children with unclear symptoms.
