Abstract

Purpose. Evaluation of the frequency of extraesophageal manifestations in the structure of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in patients admitted for ophthalmic surgery. Material and methods. The preoperative state of 76 patients with extraesophageal manifestations of GERD was analyzed. The assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of drug therapy, algorithms for diagnosing extraesophageal manifestations of GERD is given, our own clinical case is presented to illustrate the complexity of diagnosing extraesophageal manifestations of GERD. Results. A group of 76 people with extraesophageal manifestations of GERD (21 %) out of 363 patients with GERD admitted for treatment in 2019 was studied. In 25 people (33 %), the extraesophageal form of GERD was not diagnosed before admission to the hospital. Of these, in 17 people GERD proceeded under the guise of cardiological pathology, in 8 people - under the guise of bronchopulmonary pathology. Conclusion. GERD occupies a leading position among diseases of the upper gastrointestinal tract (more than 30 %). About 21 % are atypical manifestations of GERD. Modern etiopathogenetic treatment of GERD makes it possible to effectively stop the symptoms of the disease, avoid polypharmacy, undesirable drug interactions and unreasonable refusal of planned surgical treatment for patients with ophthalmic diseases. Keywords: gastroesophageal reflux disease, extraesophageal manifestations, cardiological and bronchopulmonary “masks”, ophthalmic surgery.
