ABSTRACT

Background:

We investigated the relationship between Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) and maxillary sinus mucosal thickness (MSMT), inferior turbinate mucosal thickness (ITMT), inferior turbinate width (ITW) and nasal septal body thickness (NSBT), which can be signs of chronic rhinosinusitis and allergic rhinitis.

Methods:

The study, which included 87 patients, was designed as two groups. While 42 of the patients were included in the Laryngopharyngeal Reflux group, 45 were included in the control group. Age and gender information of the patients were noted. MSMT, ITMT, ITW and NSBT values were measured in patients who had Paranasal Sinus Computed Tomography. MSMT, ITMT and ITW were measured as right and left. Both groups were evaluated in terms of these values.

Results:

Right ITMT, bilateral ITW and MSMT values were found to be significantly higher in the LPR group than in the control group (p < 0.05). MSMT values were higher in males (p < 0.05). The left-ITT and NSBT values were not significantly different between the LPR group and the control group, but both values were higher in the LPR group than in the control group (p > 0.05). In the LPR group, there were positive correlations between ITMT and ITW values of the right side; and left side separately (p < 0.05).

Conclusion:

It has been shown that Laryngopharyngeal Reflux increases maxillary sinus mucosal thickness, inferior turbinate thickness and width, and nasal septal body thickness, which can be signs of chronic rhinosinusitis and allergic rhinitis. The negative effects of LPR on nasal and paranasal mucosa and structures were demonstrated in this study.
