Chronic Cough and Dental Erosions in a Child with Gastroesophageal Reflux Evaluated by Ph‐metry Associated with Multichannel Intraluminal Impedance

چکیده
The clinical manifestations of the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are multiple and heterogeneous, differing according to age and individual susceptibility. The relationship between respiratory manifestations and the gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in children is a contro‐ versial topic on: proving or refuting either cause or effect, with special stress on the most important symptom – cough. Dental erosions can be GERD‐related, especially in the case of infants or of neurologically‐impaired children. The case of a 4 year and 8 month‐old child with gastroeso‐ phageal reflux, with typical (chronic vomiting) and atypi‐ cal (chronic cough, dental erosions) digestive manifestations, a diagnosis established by pH‐metry asso‐ ciated with multichannel intraluminal impedance, will be discussed in the study.

Combined pH-metry/impedance monitoring increases the diagnostic yield in patients with atypical gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.
BACKGROUND Globus sensations, hoarseness and chronic cough are suggested to be atypical manifestations of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The aim of the study was to investigate whether combined pH-metry and multichannel intraluminal impedance monitoring increases the diagnostic yield. METHODS 41 patients with atypical GERD symptoms were included in the study. Globus sensation was the...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Oropharyngeal (OP) pH monitoring has been developed to detect supra-esophageal gastric reflux (SEGR). The results obtained with OP pH-metry and multichannel intraluminal impedance/pH monitoring (MII/pH) were compared. STUDY DESIGN Diagnostic study. METHODS Ten patients (age 46.33 ± 9.86 years) presenting with chronic coughing underwent simultaneous OP and MII/pH record...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Laryngopharyngeal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) such as globus sensation, hoarseness and chronic cough are becoming increasingly recognized. This study was aimed to investigate the diagnostic usefulness of combined dual channel multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII)/pH-metry in 'off-proton pump inhibitor (PPI)' patients with suspected laryngopharyngeal re...
متن کاملMultichannel intraluminal impedance and pH-metry for investigation of symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux disease.
BACKGROUND Combined multichannel intraluminal impedance and pH-metry (MII-pH) is a technique that enables monitoring of gastroesophageal reflux independent of its acidity. AIM To investigate the utility of MII-pH in the clinical investigation of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms. METHODS 32 consecutive patients underwent 24-hour ambulatory MII-pH. 16 patients wer...
