Abstract

It is known that gastroesophageal reflux disease is one of the causal agents for pathological changes in the larynx. The following case report reveals the relation between chronically habitual vomiting (bulimia) and alterations in the larynx, representing the findings typically seen in reflux laryngitis. The case describes the history of a 29-year-old female patient who has suffered from bulimia for years and consequently developed a disorder in her singing voice and irritation of the throat. The medical history, laryngeal findings and the results obtained in examination of the voice indicate that possible causes typical of gastroesophageal reflux disease can be detected in patients with a matching history, corresponding age and gender; bulimia should be considered as one of the causes.
