Abstract
Sonography appears highly sensitive in characterizing the severity of gastroesophageal reflux, screening the infants at risk of esophagitis. Sonography is also useful in evaluating efficacy of treatment. In our experience reflux is only damaging if constantly repeated and related to severe hiatal dysfunction. Ultrasound (US) is a good alternative for the assessment of hiatal function and gives furthermore indispensable morphological data.Entities:
