title: [Gastroesophageal reflux disease: facts and uncertainties].
abstract: In these years the increasing interest regarding clinical presentation of Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is certainly due to the complex pathogenic mechanism and the poor correlations between symptoms, clinical picture and endoscopic findings. In this paper we review clinical, pathological and therapeutical features of GERD focusing on controversial findings in clinical practice.
