Extra-laryngeal manifestations of gastro-oesophageal reflux

M De Benedetto et al. Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital. 2006 Oct.

Abstract
in English, Italian

Of the various otorhinolaryngological disorders for which it has been recognized that gastro-oesophageal reflux is a possible causal or associated aetiological factor, those manifestations localized in the rhino-sinus and auricular district are certainly the "least studied". Herein, therefore, these manifestations are described, focusing on the physio-pathological aspects and the more important pathogenic hypotheses of the cough, as well as other lung manifestations.

Tra tutte le patologie otorinolaringoiatriche che riconoscono nel GER il possibile fattore eziologico causale o concausale, le manifestazioni a carico del distretto rinosinusale e auricolare sono sicuramente quelle “meno studiate”. Vengono pertanto presentati gli aspetti fisiopatologici di queste manifestazioni e le ipotesi patogetiche più rilevanti della tosse così come delle altre manifestazioni polmonari.
