Resumo

A interacção entre os sistemas respiratório e gastrintestinal é reconhecida há várias décadas, sendo motivada por mecanismos anatómicos, fisiológicos e patológicos diversos.

Se é certo que a relação de algumas entidades nosológicas acorre, intuitivamente, ao pneumologista, como é o caso da asma e o refluxo gastroesofágico, outras interacções patológicas tendem a ser subdiagnosticadas, não só pela sua complexidade fisiológica, mas também pela sua menor frequência (doenças da via aérea motivadas pela colite ulcerosa e doença de Crohn, por exemplo).

É objectivo do presente artigo rever os mecanismos anatomofisiológicos, patológicos, clínicos e terapêuticos responsáveis pela complexa interacção entre o pulmão e o sistema gastrintestinal.

Abstract

The relation between the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems has been long recognized and depends on various anatomical, physiological and pathological mechanisms.

The certain recognition of some interactions, such as the relation between asthma and gastroesophageal reflux, is more or less intuitive to the pulmonogist, whereas other areas of confluence are more easily missed, such as the relation between airway disorders and inflammatory bowel disease.

The purpose of this article is to review the interaction between the lung and the gastrointestinal systems, as far as anatomy, physiology, pathology, clinical manifestations and therapeutical options go.

Key-words:
Lung
gastrointestinal system
