Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and Functional Laryngeal Disorder: Perspective and Common Practice of the General Gastroenterologist.
Gastroenterology & Hepatology 2018 September
Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is an extraesophageal variant of gastroesophageal reflux disease that is associated with chronic cough, hoarseness, dysphonia, recurrent throat clearing, and globus pharyngeus. Due to nonspecific symptoms, laryngoscopy is often performed to rule out malignancy, and the diagnosis of LPR is considered with any signs of laryngeal inflammation. However, laryngoscopic findings have high interobserver variability, and, thus, most patients are tried on an empiric course of acid-suppressive therapy to see whether symptoms resolve. In this article, which focuses on the perspective and common practice of the general gastroenterologist, we review our understanding of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of LPR based on important clinical articles in the gastroenterology literature. We also propose new diagnostic criteria for functional laryngeal disorder and review laryngeal hypersensitivity and treatment options for general gastroenterologists.
