Background: Over the last few decades, reflux diseases, such as laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), have been identified as significant contributors to inflammatory upper aerodigestive tract diseases. Establishing a direct relationship between reflux disease and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is challenging due to the high prevalence of both diseases and their potential for independent coexistence.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to review the existing literature and evaluate the evidence of an association between reflux diseases and CRS.
