title: [Laryngopharyngeal reflux as a possible cause of adenoiditis in adult patients].
abstract: The objective of the present study was to attract attention of practitioners to the possibility of involvement of pharyngel tonsils in the pathological process in the patients presenting with gastroesophageal reflux. Two clinical cases are reported to illustrate the possibility of development of adenoid vegetations in the adult subjects with laryngopharyngeal reflux. The use of the omeprazole test and the treatment with proton pump inhibitors produced the favourable outcome (adenoid regression) without the application of intranasl corticosteroids and the surgical intervention.
