Transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE) is rapidly becoming integrated into otolaryngological practice. A recent report has shown an incongruence between an endoscopic diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus and biopsy-proven Barrett's esophagus in patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). The goal of this study was to determine whether performing TNE with narrowband imaging (NBI) improves on the diagnostic yield in the otolaryngologist's hands. Narrowband imaging involves the use of filtered light to enhance the mucosal microvasculature pattern and has been shown to be highly sensitive to detecting Barrett's esophagus under conventional esophagoscopy.
