Summary:An 8-month-old infant presented with persistent stridor since the first month of life that began worsening during meals after he was weaned. A nasopharyngoscopy showed indirect signs of gastroesophageal reflux ("cobblestone appearance"). Antiacid therapy was started but there was no improvement.
