AB  - ENT symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux are frequent. pH-impedance can detect 
      acid and non-acid reflux and measure their proximal extension. The technique 
      identifies the refluxate by changes in impedance. We discuss 2 clinical 
      situations where correlation of symptoms could be explained by a non-acid reflux 
      in the first case, and a lack of acid suppression in the second case, 
      respectively. These results lead to a specific additional treatment to proton 
      pump inhibitors (PPI). This technology provides a better understanding of the 
      pathogenesis of reflux laryngitis, and affords the prescription of PPI on a 
      proven diagnosis. Detection of non-acid reflux leads to an optimized medical 
      treatment.
