[Elektronische Daten] [J. L. Quesada, J. Lorente, Pedro Quesada] Globus pharyngeus is a relatively common complaint in an ear, nose, and throat consulting room and may account for 3-4% of outpatient referrals. The cause is still unknown, although a number of hypotheses have been suggested. Between 40% and 75% of the patients remain symptomatic despite any treatment regimen. Thirteen patients from a group of 124 with the diagnosis of globus pharyngeus and no response to medical treatment were treated with partial epiglottectomies. One year after the surgery all but one patient were free of symptoms. Our experience indicates that partial epiglottectomy can be a good treatment for those patients with globus pharyngeus in whom no cause is found after all studies are performed or when medical treatment fails.
