    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) can cause stridor in infants. pH probe monitoring confirmed a direct link between reflux episodes and stridor, suggesting GER as a potential cause.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pulmonology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Stridor is a high-pitched respiratory sound often associated with upper airway obstruction.
    • Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is common in infants and can lead to various respiratory symptoms.

    Observation:

    • This case report details an infant presenting with stridor.
    • The infant's stridor was temporally associated with episodes of gastroesophageal reflux.

    Findings:

    • pH probe monitoring provided objective evidence linking individual gastroesophageal reflux events to the onset of stridor.
    • This is the first documented case with such clear temporal correlation.

    Implications:

    • Gastroesophageal reflux should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained stridor in infants.

  • Further investigation into the pathophysiology connecting GER and stridor is warranted.
