Abstract

Objectives: We investigated the incidence of gastroesophageal reflux by scintigraphy in patients with laryngopharyngeal symptoms and findings. Patients and Methods: The study included 32 patients (14 males, 18 females; mean age 38 years; range 17 to 55 years) who presented with laryngopharyngeal complaints. All patients underwent routine ENT and head-neck examinations and rigid endoscopy of the larynx to determine laryngopharyngeal symptoms and findings. The presence of gastroesophageal reflux was sought by technetium 99m sülfür colloid scintigraphy. Results: The most common symptom was dysphagia (56%) followed by hoarseness (46%). Posterior laryngitis was the most common laryngeal finding (18 patients, 56%). Scintigraphy revealed gastroesophageal reflux in 21 patients (66%), 14 of whom (67%) had posterior laryngitis. Conclusion: Patients with laryngopharyngeal symptoms and findings should be investigated with regard to gastroesophageal reflux. Scintigraphy may be a method of choice in this respect.

Özet

Amaç: Larengofarenjeal semptom ve bulguları olan hastalarda sintigrafi ile gastroözofageal reflü sıklığı araştırıldı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Larengofarenjeal şikayet ile başvuran 32 hastada (14 erkek, 18 kadın; ort. yaş 38; dağılım 17-55) rutin KBB ve baş-boyun muayenesi ve rijid endoskopi ile larenks muayenesi sonucunda larengofarenjeal semptom ve bulgular belirlendi. Tüm hastalarda gastroözofageal reflü varlığını objektif olarak göstermek için Tc 99m sülfür kolloid ile sintigrafik görüntüleme yapıldı. Bulgular: En sık görülen semptom disfaji (%56), ikinci olarak ses kısıklığı idi (%46). Posterler larenjit (18 hasta, %56) en sık görülen larengeal bulgu idi. Sintigrafide 21 hastada (%66) reflü saptandı. Gastroözofageal reflü en sık posterior larenjitli hasta grubunda görüldü (%67). Sonuç: Larengofarenjeal semptom ve bulgular gastroözofajeal reflünün habercisi olabileceğinden bu olgularda gastroözofageal reflü açısından araştırma yapılmalıdır. Bu amaçla sintigrafik yöntem kullanılabilir.
