AB  - Gastroesophageal reflux is often associated with symptoms of the respiratory 
      tract. Chronic cough of unknown origin, laryngeal complaints and even non 
      allergic asthma, resistant to steroid therapy, are suspicious of being reflux 
      related. These extraesophageal manifestations can occur without typical reflux 
      complaints, such as heartburn, and even without evident esophagitis. Therefore, 
      prolonged pH-monitoring is essential to confirm the diagnosis. In some cases it 
      will be adequate to start a therapeutic trial with proton pump inhibitors (PPI) 
      to prove the causal connection between reflux and symptoms. The treatment of the 
      extraesophageal manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease is identical 
      with the management of reflux esophagitis. PPI are the treatment of choice. 
      Sometimes higher doses of PPI are required. Fundoplication may be appropriate for 
      selected patients.
