Gastroesophageal reflux causing stridor.
We describe an infant with stridor associated with gastroesophageal reflux (GER). This is the first report in which there is clear documentation by pH probe of a temporal association between individual episodes of GER and stridor. We review the literature and speculate on the relationship between these two phenomena. GER should be considered in patients with stridor.
