title: [Pharyngolaryngeal reflux as one of the causes of chronic excretory otitis media].
abstract: The objective of the present work was to study the relationship between chronic secretory otitis media (CSOM) and pharyngolaryngeal reflux (PLR). A total of 43 patients aged between 3 to 19 years presenting with CSOM were available for the examination. PLR was confirmed in 36 (83.7%) patients. A relapse of CSOM after a course of otorhinolaryngological and gastroenterological treatment developed in 6 (14.0%) patients. It is concluded that antireflux therapy should be a constituent component of CSOM therapy concomitant with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
