Frequency of Detectability of Larynx Pathology among Patients with Chronic Diseases of the Gastrointestinal Tract

Abstract

The conducted clinical and instrumental study revealed that the aggregate group of patients with chronic diseases of the throat differs by increased frequency of both isolated and combined disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. If a patient has such symptoms as hoarseness, tickling, scratching, burning, or feelings of dryness in the throat, a frequent variant of gastrointestinal tract disorders is gastroesophageal reflux disease with pharyngolaryneal reflux. There are such severe pathologies of the throat as pachydermia of the vocal cords and the nodules of vocal cords among more frequent disorders of gastrointestinal tract diseases. There is a high probability of accompanying pathology of the throat in the form of pachydermia and nodules of the vocal cords with patients with gastrointestinal tract disorders for conducting a fibrorhynolaryngoscopy in combination with a fibergastroscopy.
