Popis: It is well known that the gastroesophageal reflux is a frequent disease in medical practice. A lot of factors are involved in its pathogenesis. The aim of our study was to find out if the duodenogastric reflux is one of these factors. We also looked for the pathological conditions associated with duodenogastric reflux. We studied a lot of 59c (30c females and 29c males) with ages between 39 and 54 years old suffering from gastroesophageal disease. Material and methods: EDS examination and abdominal ultrasound were done and we calculated the score of gastroesophageal reflux by GERD Q method. Results and discussion: Our results show the high frequency of cholesterolosis (45.7%). All of these cases presented duodenogastric reflux, which means that biliary disease can be one of the causes of the gastroesophageal reflux. Conclusion: The duodenogastric reflux aggravated gastroesophageal reflux and induced esophagitis in 50% of cases.
