producing symptoms and tissue damage&#44; the condition is referred to as laryngopharyngeal reflux &#40;LPR&#41;&#46; According to some authors&#44; LPR and GERD are different disease conditions&#46; The anatomical proximity between the larynx and oesophagus determines the development of airway disorders secondary to reflux&#46; The larynx and trachea are very sensitive to acid from the stomach&#44; and animal models have shown that acid exposure for 1<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>min a day during 8 days can turn a minor tracheal problem into subglottic stenosis&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It has been suggested that over 40&#37;

regurgitation and dyspepsia&#46; The most frequent symptoms of LPR&#44; in turn&#44; comprise clearing of the throat&#59; frequent coughing&#44; globus&#59; foreign body sensation&#59; and hoarseness&#44; among other manifestations&#44; and the respiratory symptoms are often not associated to digestive manifestations&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The consequences of LPR are less predictable than those of GERD&#44;

stridor&#44; croup&#44; laryngitis&#44; sinusitis&#44; snoring&#44; globus&#44; dental erosions and recurrent otitis media&#46; In some patients&#44; a relationship has been established between GERD and chronic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and bronchopulmonary dysplasia&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#44;4&#44;5</span></a> It is important to mention that in a considerable number of cases GERD is a silent disease and may give rise to inflammatory or neoplastic processes of the upper airway&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a></p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is not easy to demonstrate the cause&#8211;effect relationship between such signs or symptoms and GERD&#46;

which have not been validated in children&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7&#8211;9</span></a> While studies based on the monitorisation of oesophageal pH are currently regarded as the gold standard&#44; they have many limitations &#8211; including differences in interpretation of the pharyngeal reflux episodes&#44; a lack of consensus on the normality values&#44; and variability in the diagnostic criteria used &#40;definition of reflux&#44; and the number and duration of its episodes&#41;&#46; Likewise&#44; alkaline and gas reflux are not adequately evaluated&#46; The diagnostic roles of other techniques such as the oesophagogram&#44; scintigraphy or impedanciometry have not been fully established&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a></p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">On the basis of the above&#44; direct laryngoscopic evaluation of the laryngeal damage produced by GERD appears as an interesting exploratory option&#44; although it also has important limitations&#46; Several retrospective and prospective studies have described characteristic findings of the airways in paediatric patients with GERD or LPR&#46; Such endoscopic data&#44; often associated to chronic inflammation&#44; include oedema and erythema of the arytenoid cartilages&#44; the inter-arytenoid zone and posterior glottic region&#44; inter-arytenoid mucosal redundancy or pachyderma&#44; laryngomalacia&#44; and inflammatory changes of the vocal cords&#44; subglottic stenosis or stricture&#44; cobble stoning of the tracheal mucosa&#44; and carinal flattening&#46;</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A survey of ear&#44; nose and throat specialists found that 74&#37; based the diagnosis of LPR mainly on the clinical signs and symptoms&#8211;particularly globus&#44; clearing of the throat&#44; and laryngeal erythema and oedema&#46; However&#44; these signs and symptoms represent the least specific markers of reflux&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> Furthermore&#44; such manifestations are more suspected when a flexible rather than a rigid laryngoscope is used &#8211; suggesting that the former is more sensitive but less specific in identifying laryngeal irritation&#46; On the other hand&#44; the symptoms and endoscopic findings are scantly correlated&#44; and the lack of treatment response in patients with laryngitis associated to reflux could be due to the lack of specificity of the laryngeal signs in diagnosing LPR&#46; Another problem in the diagnosis of LPR is the fact that laryngeal examination is subjective and is dependent upon the experience of the examiner in identifying the laryngeal signs&#46; Likewise&#44; inter- and intraobserver agreement over the laryngoscopic findings is poor&#44; as evidenced by a study in which different ear&#44; nose and throat specialists scored the laryngeal images of 120 patients&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a></p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A recent meta-analysis has evaluated the correlation between the laryngoscopic findings in LPR and GERD among the paediatric population&#46;

although different options are available for diagnosing LPR&#44; none of them are definitive&#46; Consequently&#44; a careful selection of study techniques is required after initial evaluation&#46; Although there is still insufficient evidence&#44; a combined approach based on suggestive clinical manifestations and laryngoscopy can be used in certain cases to indicate medical treatment&#46; If the response proves insufficient&#44; then other supporting techniques such as pH studies should be used&#46; In any case&#44; further studies with improved methodological designs are needed to definitively establish the causal relationship between LPR and the airway symptoms&#44; and to define the role of laryngoscopy in the diagnostic algorithm of LPR&#46;</p></span>"
