Abstract
SUMMARY
THE IMPORTANCE OF ESOPHAGEAL DISFUNCTION IN THE OCCURENCE OF PATHOLOGIC DISORDERS RELATED TO LARYNX
Stress, trauma, feeding style, misuse of the voice and cigarette smoking are some causative reasons of laryngeal disorders like nodules, polyps and contac granulomas. There are same medical reports which have showed us the relationship between the occurence of laryngeal contact ulcers and the esophageal disorders like gastro-esophageal reflux. We investigated whether there was a relationship between the functional disorders of esophagus and the laryngeal disorders in 24 patients with laryngeal pathology and in 17 control patients without any symptoms by using esophagoscopy, esophageal endoscopic biopsy and acid-perfusion test (Bernstein test). The prevalance of esophagitis was 58% in patients with laryngeal disorders and it was only 23.5% in control group. The statistical difference was important (t=2.4, p<0.05).
ÖZET
Larinkse ait polip, nodul, kontak ülser ve granulomaların mey¬dana gelmesinde çeşitli nedenler bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan biri de özefagus disfonksiyonudur. Çeşitli larinks patolojisi tesbit ettiğimiz 24 hasta ile larinks patolojisi olmayan 17 kişilik kontrol grubunda özefagoskopi, biopsi ve asit perfüzyon testi yaparak özefagus disfonksiyonu oranını belirledik. Çalışma gru¬bunda %58, kontrol grubunda ise %23,5 oranında özefagus dis¬fonksiyonu tesbit ettik. Aradaki farkın yüksek olduğu belirlene¬rek larinks patolojilerinin oluşmasında özefagus disfonksiyonun önemli olduğu görülmüştür(t=2.4, p < 0.05).
