ABSTRACT

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is frequently encountered, yet still underdiagnosed in pediatric pathology. More than two thirds of the pediatric population are diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux. Various pathologies associated with this disease are listed in the literature. The current article addresses asthma, obesity and dental erosions that are complementary to this condition. A multidisciplinary approach is mandatory for the purpose of optimal therapeutic management.
