Patients (20) with a chief complaint of a lump in the throat, were examined otolaryngologically, radiographically and psychiatrically with special attention directed to psychosomatic aspects. The control material consisted of matched sample persons of the general population, and of the total patient material treated at a general hospital. Considerably more psychic disturbances were found in the globus patients than in the matching control material. The personality picture of the patients was markedly obsessive, possibly suggesting a psychosomatic syndrome rather than a pure hysterical conversion syndrome, at least in some of the patients.
