Abstract

The traditional concept dating back to Hippocrates of globus pharyngeus as an affliction of hysterical women may no longer be credible, but the aetiology remains unclear, possibly multifactorial and/or heterogeneous. As such, primary care physicians and otolaryngologists struggle to reach a consensus on the appropriate investigation of a patient presenting with 'a lump in the throat'.
