[Subglottic stenosis and gastroesophageal reflux].
The authors report the cases of ten children treated for sub-glottic laryngeal stenosis, in the Department of Pr. Narcy in Hospital Robert-Debre. Medical treatment of the laryngeal stenosis had failed in these cases. Treatment, most often surgical, of the gastro-oesophageal reflux present in these ten cases enabled these children to be cured. A review of the literature stresses the role and responsibility of gastro-oesophageal reflux in laryngeal pathology. Based on their experience, the authors suggest: systematic investigation for gastro-oesophageal reflux during management of laryngeal stenosis, especially when laryngeal inflammation is encountered; the adoption of an interventionist attitude vis-a-vis gastro-oesophageal reflux which would seem to have an important pathogenic role in certain laryngeal stenoses.
