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.
