<b>Introduction</b> The indirect laryngoscopy has an important role in the characterization of reflux laryngitis. Although many findings are nonspecific, some strongly suggest that the inflammation is the cause of reflux. <b>Objective</b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between reflux symptoms and the findings of indirect laryngoscopy. <b>Methods</b> We evaluated 27 patients with symptoms of pharyngolaryngeal reflux disease. <b>Results</b> Laryngoscopy demonstrated in all patients the presence of hypertrophy of the posterior commissure and laryngeal edema. The most frequent symptoms were the presence of dry cough and foreign body sensation. <b>Conclusion</b> There was a correlation between the findings at laryngoscopy and symptoms of reflux.
