laryngopharyngeal reflux/edema

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the association between pathological acidic laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) events and chronic pharyngitis in patients with Reinke's edema. METHODS We performed a prospective controlled study in 20 consecutive patients with Reinke's edema without pathological acidic LPR events

Objective:To determine the significance of laryngopharyngeal reflux(LPR) in Reinke's edema. Method:Sixteen patients who have been diagnosed as Reinke's edema between February 2014 to June 2016 were included in this study. The control group included fifty vocal cord leukoplakia and early glottic

OBJECTIVE To determine the significance of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) in benign vocal mucosal lesions. METHODS A case-control study at the tertiary referral medical center. METHODS From April 2003 to December 2006, we studied 110 patients with benign vocal mucosal lesions who had undergone

OBJECTIVE Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is diagnosed by the presence of laryngeal signs and symptoms. Some studies have noted that signs and symptoms may be nonspecific and may have poor correlation. However, many such studies were either observational or had short-term follow-up. Therefore, we

OBJECTIVE To summarize the characteristics of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) in patients with chronic otitis media. METHODS This was a prospective study in which 31 patients with chronic otitis media were enrolled. General patient information, reflux symptom index (RSI), reflux finding scores

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical manifestations in pediatric laryngopharyngeal reflux and to provide more information on diagnosis and treatment. METHODS Sixty-two cases with recurrent respiratory infections, hoarseness and chronic cough were examined with reflux symptom index (RSI), reflux finding

BACKGROUND Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is defined as the retrograde flow of gastric contents up through the esophagus to the larynx and hypopharynx; this is an extra-esophageal manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Although both LPR and GERD are caused by reflux of stomach

Infraglottic edema extending from the anterior commissure to the posterior larynx, called the laryngeal pseudosulcus, may have some value in the diagnosing of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence, sensitivity and specificity of this finding among

OBJECTIVE A literature review regarding the use of laryngopharyngeal mucosal signs in diagnosing laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). METHODS Literature review. METHODS A search of MEDLINE in February 2012 using the terms laryngopharyngeal reflux, laryngitis, mucosa, appearances, and signs (English

BACKGROUND A pattern of edema on the ventral surface of the vocal fold, called pseudosulcus vocalis, was described in 1995. It refers to infraglottic edema extending from the anterior commissure to the posterior larynx. It can be differentiated from sulcus vergeture, which is caused by adhesion of

The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the effect of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) on the healing process of surgical laryngeal trauma. A total of 112 consecutive patients, who suffered from LPR and were scheduled for operation of Reinke edema or laryngeal polyps/nodules (40 and 72

OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of narrow-band imaging (NBI) laryngoscope for the diagnosis and therapy of the laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD). METHODS Analyzed the NBI laryngoscope characteristic findings of the throats of 46 LPRD patients which confirmed the diagnosis according to the

To study the relationship between laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) using clinical scoring and endoscopy. Data was collected from a sample of 100 patients with GERD symptoms who presented to ENT out-patient department, for a duration of 2 years. Patients were

OBJECTIVE Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) -- gastroesophageal reflux above the upper esophageal sphincter -- is a common problem encountered by otolaryngologists. Despite consensus guidelines, the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment remain controversial. We surveyed Canadian otolaryngologists to

Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine the correlation of reported symptom improvement in laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) with physical findings on laryngoscopic examination following medical therapy.
