Abstract
This review evaluates methodologic problems concerning esophageal pH monitoring in pediatric patients. Prolonged intraesophageal pH recording (twenty-two or twenty-four hour) is considered as the gold standard for all reflux investigations. The indications to pH monitoring and the interpretation of long-term pH studies data are discussed in details in the paper.
