Reflux Œsophagitis

A method is presented which combines gastro-oesophageal reflux quantification and oesophageal transit measurement so as to differentiate true reflux from residual oesophageal activity. A group of 33 subjects with gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms and endoscopically confirmed reflux oesophagitis and a group of 21 asymptomatic subjects with normal oesophageal, gastric and duodenal endoscopic findings were examined. The subjects were given 37 MBq 99mTc-Sn-colloid in saline orally and then scintiscanned dynamically. The gastro-oesophageal quantification was done after transit measurement and after the oesophageal time activity (to detect residual oesophageal activity) reached its minimum. The difference in the reflux indices between the two groups was highly significant. In low-grade oesophagitis measured reflux was lower than in higher grades of disease. Only 4.7% false-positive results were observed with a specificity of 95%, indicating that this method may be superior to methods published earlier.

Reflux Œsophagitis

Recent technological advances have brought oesophageal motility investigations within the scope of gastrointestinal departments in all major hospitals. The techniques are now well-tried, straightforward and reproducible [1]. Their use in research has contributed greatly to our understanding of the normal physiology of the oesophagus, and to our knowledge of the abnormalities that occur in reflux oesophagitis. In clinical practice, motility studies are required most often for diagnosis of the oesophageal motility disorders, which have been shown to be more common than was once thought.

Reflux Œsophagitis

AbstractThe authors have treated 44 patients with posterior chronic acid laryngitis. Biopsy was performed in all patients. Characteristic changes typical of the hyperregenerative or atrophic phase of reflux oesophagitis were identified in all specimens. Gastric hypersecretion was proven in all but two patients. The aetio-logic factors of acid posterior laryngitis are gastro-oesophageal reflux, with friction of both vocal processes during phonation and vocal abuse. The preferred therapy is removal of circumscribed lesions with a suitable medical regimen.
