Larengofarenjeal semptom ve bulguları olan hastalarda gastroözofajeal reflü sıklığının sintigrafik yöntemle değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Larengofarenjeal semptom ve bulguları olanhastalarda sintigrafi ile gastroözofageal reflü sıklığıarafltırıldı.Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Larengofarenjeal flikayetile baflvuran 32 hastada rutin KBB ve bafl-boyun muayenesi ve rijid endoskopi ile larenks muayenesi sonucunda larengofarenjeal semptom ve bulgular belirlendi. Tüm hastalarda gastroözofageal reflü varlığınıobjektif olarak göstermek için Tc 99m sülfür kolloidile sintigrafik görüntüleme yapıldı. Bulgular: En sık görülen semptom disfaji %56 ,ikinci olarak ses kısıklığı idi %46 . Posterior 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 arafltırma yapılmalıdır. Bu amaçla sintigrafik yöntem kullanılabilir.

Detection of gastroesophageal reflux by scintigraphy in patients with laryngopharyngeal symptoms and findings

Objectives: We investigated the incidence of gas­ troesophageal 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. AH patients undervvent 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 dyspha- gia 56% followed by hoarseness 46% . Posterior laryngitis was the most common laryngeal finding 18 patients, 56% . Scintigraphy revealed gastroe­ sophageal 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 thisrespect.
