Abstract
|
|
|
Esophageal manometry and Bernstein acid perfusion test were performed in 39 patietns
with globus sensation and 30 controls without experiencing a lump sensation in the throat.
Globus patients also underwent physical examination, paranasal sinus x-ray, laryngoscopy and
esophagogram. Nine of 39 patients were exculded from the study becaused local reasons for a
lump sensation in the throat were found. Globus group showed significant elevation in upper
esophageal sphinter pressure (P=0.0001) and six patients(20%) had evidence of nonspecific
esophageal motility disorders, which suggested that hypertonicity of the upper esophageal
sphinter and esophageal motility disorders could be the cause of globus syndrome.
