ABSTRACT Background Eustachian tube catarrh could be due to laryngopharyngeal reflux besides other causes. Objectives To assess gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients with Eustachian tube catarrh and the effect of proton pump inhibitors on symptoms of Eustachian tube disease. Methodology A total of 50 patients were selected with symptoms of Eustachian tube catarrh and evaluated prospectively in the ENT Outpatient Department of the Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences, Puducherry. Results The group consisted of 15 (30%) males and 35 (70%) females. The largest group was of the age of 45 years and above (44%). The most common symptom of Eustachian tube catarrh was itching (84%), followed by otalgia (76%) and popping sensation on swallowing (74%). On otoscopic examination, the commonest grade of tympanic membrane retraction was grade I (57%), on tympanometry 90% of cases had middle ear pressure in range −100 to +100. The middle compliance ranged from 0.5 to 1.75 (normal) in 86% of the cases. The tympanomeric curve was type A (normal) in 78% of the cases and type C in 8% of the cases. At the end of 4 and 8 weeks, the response of treatment to proton pump inhibitors was significantly higher (z = 3.53, p < 0.05) in the studied group. Conclusion Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) could be an important etiological factor in Eustachian tube catarrh. The treatment, with proton pump inhibitors, of Eustachian tube catarrh with no local identifiable cause, could be very useful to this subsect of patients.

The Relationship

Objectives: Many studies on the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) were based on symptoms, but there are few research on it using reflux monitoring. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between GERD and LPR based on pH monitoring. Methods: All patients were scheduled for esophageal manometry and pH monitoring sequentially. They were stratified into 4 groups as no reflux disease, isolated GERD, isolated LPR (iLPR), and GERD combined with LPR (GERD&LPR) according to pH monitoring. Results: The incidence of LPR in GERD was 46.3%, while the probability of combining GERD in LPR was 52.7%. The reflux profile in the laryngopharynx showed a significant difference in the total reflux time (17.82 ± 18.4 vs 9.62 ± 9.58, P = .023) and the percentage of total reflux time (1.31% ± 1.37% vs 0.71% ± .0.73%, P = .023) between the GERD&LPR and iLPR groups. Conclusion: Laryngopharyngeal reflux can be combined with GERD or it can exist as an independent diagnosis. In patients with GERD&LPR, the total reflux time and the percentage of reflux time in the laryngopharynx are higher than those in the iLPR group. Reflux episodes in the laryngopharynx of patients with GERD&LPR may be derived from GERD.
