El reflujo faringo laríngeo (RFL), es una causa común de morbilidad del tracto aerodigestivo superior. A pesar de su alta prevalencia, aún existe controversia respecto de la precisión diagnóstica de esta enfermedad, así como de su fisiopatología y manejo. Los test diagnósticos actuales aún presentan limitaciones significativas, de ahí que surja el interés por encontrar métodos rápidos y eficientes que mejoren su pesquisa. El presente trabajo tiene por objeto la revisión de la literatura actual en cuanto a los métodos disponibles para su diagnóstico.
The laryngopharyngeal reflux is a common cause of morbidity of the upper aerodigestive tract. Despite its high prevalence, there is still controversy regarding the diagnostic accuracy of this disease and its pathophysiology and management. The current diagnostic test still have significant limitations, hence the interest arises to find fast and efficient methods to improve their research. This paper aims to review the current literature regarding available methods for diagnosis.

Introdução: A apneia obstrutiva do sono (AOS) é causada por episódios recorrentes de obstrução total ou parcial da via aérea superior com duração superior a 10 segundos durante o sono. Refluxo faringolaríngeo (RFL) é uma variante da doença do refluxo gastroesofágico que afeta a laringe e a faringe. Objetivos: Avaliar a influência da obesidade na relação entre RFL e AOS em pacientes com SAOS. Materiais e métodos: Estudo observacional transversal retrospectivo. Foram revisados protocolos de atendimento de pacientes com AOS que incluem questionários validados para RFL como Reflux Sympton Index (RSI) e Reflux Finding Score (RSI), nasolaringofibroscopia e polissonografia. Resultados: Cento e cinco pacientes foram divididos em grupo de obesos (39 pacientes) e não obesos (66 pacientes). Na avaliação das médias do RSI o grupo de não obesos foi semelhante entre pacientes com AOS leve (11,96) e moderada (11,43). No grupo de obesos a média do RSI foi de 6,7 em pacientes com AOS leve e de 11,53 em pacientes com AOS moderada a grave (p < 0,05). Discussão: O subgrupo de pacientes com AOS e RFL apresenta vários fatores que promovem a inflamação da via aérea superior. Pacientes com AOS devem ser pesquisados e tratados quanto a RFL, aumentando a qualidade de vida. Conclusão: O RFL e a AOS se correlacionam positivamente em pacientes obesos. .
Introduction: The obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is caused by recurrent episodes of partial or total obstruction of the upper airway lasting more than 10 seconds during sleep. Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a variant of the disease Gastroesophageal Reflux that affects the larynx and pharynx. Objectives: Evaluate the influence of obesity on the relationship between RFL and OSAS in patients with OSA. Materials and methods: An observational retrospective cross. We reviewed care protocol for patients with OSA that includes validated questionnaires for RFL as Sympton Reflux Index (RSI) and Reflux Finding Score (RSI), and polysomnography nasolaringofibroscopia. Results: 105 patients were divided into obese group (39 patients) and non-obese patients (66 patients). In the evaluation of the mean RSI group of non-obese was similar between patients with mild OSA (11.96) and moderate (11.43). In the obese group the mean RSI was 6.7 in patients with mild OSA and 11.53 in patients with moderate to severe OSA (p < 0.05). Discussion: The subgroup of patients with OSA and RFL have several factors that promote inflammation of the upper airway. Patients with OSA should be screened and treated as the RFL increasing the quality of life. Conclusion: The RFL are positively correlated and OSAS in obese patients. .

La enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico (ERGE) es un trastorno gastrointestinal frecuente que representa una de las causas de consulta más común en medicina general y gastroenterología. Recientemente, se ha descrito que la ERGE puede asociarse a manifestaciones otorrinolaringológicas como laringitis, tos crónica, odinofagia, escurrimiento nasal posterior y asma. En su fisiopatología se involucran mecanismos directos e indirectos, considerándose al ácido como el agente más nocivo, aunque otras sustancias pueden lesionar las estructuras laríngeas como pepsina, moco y contenidos duodenales. El diagnóstico de ERGE laríngeo se basa en la realización cuestionarios específicos, laringoscopia y la pHmetría ambulatoria de 2 canales. Independientemente del método diagnóstico empleado, cuando se asume que la ERGE es causa de síntomas laríngeos, en la actualidad el uso de medicamentos que suprimen el acido (especialmente IBPs) constituye la piedra angular del tratamiento, aunque los resultados clínicos sobre su efectividad son muy controversiales. En la presente revisión se analizan los aspectos más controversiales respecto a la fisiopatología, diagnóstico y tratamiento de las manifestaciones laríngeas de la ERGE...
Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a frequent gastrointestinal disorder that has became one of the most common conditions presenting in general and gastroenterology practice. Recently, it has been described that GERD may have otolaryngological manifestations such as laryngitis, chronic cough, odynophagia, posterior nasal drip and asthma. Several patophysiological mechanisms have been described, but abnormal acid exposure is the most important. However, there is evidence that other substances can damage laryngeal structures, such as pepsin, mucus and duodenal content). Laryngeal GERD is diagnosed by using specific questionnaires, or by the presence of laryngeal signs in the laryngoscopy or by the detection of abnormal acid exposure using a dual ambulatory pH monitoring. Suppressive acid secretion drugs (specifi cally PPI´s) represent the gold standard therapy when laryngeal symptoms are related to GERD. However, the evidence regarding the effectiveness of PPI´s in laryngeal GERD are controversial. In this review, we analyze the most relevant issues regarding the pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of laryngeal GERD...
