History of Otolaryngology: Globus Pharyngeus as “Globus Hystericus”

Résumé

Globus pharyngeus is the uncomfortable sensation of a “lump in the throat,” and at present it has many recognized pathophysiologic causes. However, until relatively recently, this condition was often labeled “globus hystericus” and was thought to be a manifestation of hysteria or anxiety. In this commentary, we briefly review the history surrounding the initial treatment of globus pharyngeus sensation as a hysterical condition rooted in anxiety/psychological causes; then, we briefly review the emerging evidence that roots globus pharyngeus sensation within a constellation of pathophysiologies that are related to pharyngoesophageal inflammation and irritation rather than psychological disorders.
