Origin and In-Office Treatment of Retrograde Cricopharyngeus Dysfunction.

JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg

January 2025

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Foch Hospital, School of Medicine, Paris Saclay University, Paris, France.

Importance: Retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (R-CPD) is an emerging disorder associated with disabling symptoms. The origin of R-CPD remains unknown.

Objective: To investigate the development of symptoms, diagnosis approach, and therapeutic outcomes of R-CPD in patients treated with in-office botulinum toxin injection (BTI) into the cricopharyngeus.

Objectives: The study aims to investigate the relationship between the presence of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and obstruction levels identified during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among nonobese patients.

Methods: We conducted a prospective study of 105 adult patients diagnosed with OSA who underwent DISE using propofol sedation from 2019 to 2024 at a tertiary hospital. To control for the confounding impact of obesity on LPR, the study selectively enrolled individuals presenting a body mass index within the normal range.

Dysphonia and Laryngopharyngeal Reflux.

Otolaryngol Clin North Am

January 2025

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Illinois Health and Hospital System, 1009 S. Wood Street, Suite 6C, Chicago, IL 60616, USA.

Dysphonia is a common symptom of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) and requires multimodal, patient-centered care to address. Challenges in diagnosing LPRD can also complicate treatment of nonspecific dysphonia symptoms. Careful history taking with sensitivity to cultural lifestyle components in each patient is critical to management.

Objective: Using rabbit models, this study simulated the laryngopharynx's response to the synergistic effects of various acidic reflux environments and pepsin to investigate the response mechanism underlying weak acid reflux and pepsin in the mucosal barrier injury of laryngopharyngeal reflux.

Methods: The rabbits were divided into six groups, and the original larynx was recorded for each group. During the study period, rabbits were sprayed with different doses of acid and pepsin solutions and monitored for hypopharyngeal mucosal transient impedance before and after modeling.

Objectives: As one of the most common complications of laryngopharyngeal reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease, dental erosion presents a significant association with laryngopharyngeal reflux. This study aimed to elucidate the role of laryngopharyngeal reflux and gastroesophageal reflux disease on the severity and occurrence of dental erosion in adult populations.

Methods: A comprehensive search was performed in the databases of PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus for English literature published from July 1999 to June 2024.
