JIMENEZ FANDINO, Luis Humberto; MANTILLA TARAZONA, Natalia  and  OSPINA DIAZ, Javier Andrés. Reflux laryngitis: an Otolaryngologist's perspective. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.3, pp.198-206. ISSN 0120-9957.

Reflux laryngitis is recognized as an extra-digestive manifestation of gastroesophageal reflux. It has become one of the most frequent reasons patients consult with otolaryngologists. In this review we present the otolaryngologist's point of view on this disease, and discuss the continuing controversy about its pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment.

Keywords : Laryngitis; gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); laryngopharyngeal reflux.
