  • Title: Clinical manifestations of laryngopharyngeal reflux.
    Author: Cohen JT, Bach KK, Postma GN, Koufman JA.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2002 Sep; 81(9 Suppl 2):19-23. PubMed ID: 12353427.
    Abstract:
    Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is ubiquitous and associated with many head and neck symptoms and diagnoses. In some cases, the symptom is the diagnosis--for example, LPR can cause sore throat, chronic cough, globus pharyngeus, and laryngospasm. Alternately, LPR can be associated with specific histopathologic lesions--for example, vocal process granulomas. LPR can be the sole cause or an etiologic cofactor in the development of many disorders of the aerodigestive tract.
