Diagnostic Correlation Between Fiberlaringoscopy and Upper Gastrointestinal Video Endoscopy in Patients with Gastroesophagic Reflux and Laryngopharyngeal Reflux
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is caused by the retrograde flow of gastric contents towards the pharynx, but it is a different entity from gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD). The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between the endoscopic signs of fiber laryngoscopy and upper gastrointestinal video endoscopy. Material and methods: Observational, retrospective and analytical study.
Patients who consulted for LPR and GERD symptoms were included. The findings visualized by flexible fiber laryngoscopy, upper gastrointestinal video endoscopy and gastric mucosal biopsy of each patient were compared with the Chi-square
