Back ground: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic disorder resulting from the retrograde flow of gastroduodenal contents into the esophagus, producing a variable spectrum of symptoms. Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is the result of retrograde flow of gastric contents to the laryngopharynx, where it comes in contact with tissues of the upper aerodigestive tract.Objective: The aim of this work is to evaluate prevalence of LPR in cases of GERD.Methods:The present study was performed on fifty GERD patients; Group (I) twenty five patients had manifest LPR and Group (II) the other twenty five patients had GERD without LPR symptoms. Their classification and diagnosis based on upper GIT endoscopic findings, reflux symptoms score and reflux finding score by laryngoscopy.Results: Mean LPR symptoms and finding score in group I are 16.48(>10) and 8.44 (>5) respectively and in group II are 3.04 and 0.56 respectively. Silent LPR was recorded in 2 patients (8 %) of GERD patients without LPR symptoms with sign scores of both 6 and 8 (>5). There is a significant direct proportional relationship between severity of GERD and the LPR symptoms and finding scores (p = 0.015 and 0.005 respectively).Conclusion:This study introduces a new term called silent LPR constituting 8% describing those patients with GERD with LPR despite not complaining of any laryngeopharyngeal symptoms. Extended study is recommended.
