  • Title: [The pharyngeal anxiety syndrome: globus perception and pharyngeal sensations as an oligosymptomatic abortive form of an anxiety disorder? Nosologic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects, illustrated with a case].
    Author: Kohl F.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 1998 Sep; 25(5):256-9. PubMed ID: 9816608.
    Abstract:
    Since the introduction of the modern psychiatric diagnosis systems anxiety disorders have been intensively discussed. As clinical subtypes in panic disorder the cardial type and the vestibular type are widely accepted. We describe in a case report another of these subtypes, the pharyngeal type; it is characterised by symptoms that are related to the pharynx such as feeling a lump in the throat, swallow disturbance or pain in the pharynx region. It may therefore be called "throat-anxiety syndrome" or "phagophobia". Nosological implications are also discussed.
