Correlation of Study Methods Assessing Gastroesophageal Reflux Induced Laryngeal Inflammation

Gastroesophageal reflux-induced bronchial constriction.

In reference to An electron microscopic study--correlation of gastroesophageal reflux disease and laryngopharyngeal reflux.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) originates from regurgitation of gastric contents, a mechanism seemingly identical to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Some researchers postulate a connection between LPR and GERD, whereas some assert LPR is a disease apart from GERD. We examined symptoms of GERD from LPR patients, and performed gastrointestinal endoscopy and transmiss...

Gastroesophageal reflux in patients with recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis.

UNLABELLED Evidence of a relation between gastroesophaeal reflux and pediatric respiratory disorders increases every year. Many respiratory symptoms and clinical conditions such as stridor, chronic cough, and recurrent pneumonia and bronchitis appear to be related to gastroesophageal reflux. Some studies have also suggested that gastroesophageal reflux may be associated with recurrent laryngeal...

Gastroesophageal Reflux in patients with Recurrent Laryngeal Papillomatosis Summary

[Gastroesophageal reflux]

OBJECTIVE: To discuss clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of gastroesophageal reflux. METHOD: We accomplished a literature review of the last 30 years, by means of Lilacs and Medline databases. RESULTS: The gastroesophageal reflux is one of the most frequent causes of medical appointments with pediatric gastroenterologists. It represents a benign condition, characterized by regurgitati...
