Özet

Objective Gastroesophageal reflux (GER), a common problem during childhood, leads to chronic troublesome symptoms including chronic respiratory symptoms. Therefore, timely diagnostic work-up for GER is essential in children when GER is suspected. In this study, we aimed to establish whether scintigraphic parameters have clinical importance in investigating the reflux in children.
