Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of resolving the anxieties of patients applying with globus pharyngeus by eliminating the possibility of any underlying malignant disease on the continuation of their complaints in the long-term. Patients and Methods: The study included 57 patients (19 males, 38 females; mean age 39.5±12 years) who admitted to our clinic between January 1999 and December 2014 with a sensation of something in their throat and who were evaluated with barium pharyngoesophagography, neck ultrasonography or computed tomography. Patients were contacted by telephone and questioned about whether or not their complaints continued. Results: Complaints of a total of 44 patients (77%; 11 males, 33 females) faded. While complaints of 58% of males and 87% of females faded, the difference in between was statistically significant (p 0.05). Conclusion: In the globus pharyngeus complaint that does not relate to any organic pathology, resolving the anxiety by detecting the non-existence of any underlying malignant disease had a positive effect on the fading of patients’ complaints.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada globus farengeus ile başvuran hastalardaaltta yatan herhangi bir kötü hastalık olasılığının elenerekhastaların endişelerinin giderilmesinin uzun dönemdeyakınmalarının devamlılığı üzerine etkisi araştırıldı. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Ocak 1999 - Aralık 2014tarihleri arasında boğazında bir şey varmış hissi ilekliniğimize başvuran ve baryumlu farengoözefagografi,boyun ultrasonografisi veya bilgisayarlı tomografi iledeğerlendirilen 57 hasta (19 erkek, 38 kadın; ort. yaş39.5±12 yıl) dahil edildi. Hastalarla telefon görüşmesi iletemasa geçildi ve yakınmalarının devam edip etmediğisorgulandı. Bulgular: Toplam 44 hastanın (%77; 11 erkek, 33 kadın)yakınması geçti. Erkeklerin %58’inin ve kadınların %87’sininyakınması geçerken aradaki farklılık istatistiksel olarakanlamlıydı (p 0.05). Sonuç: Organik bir patolojiye bağlı bulunmayan globusfarengeus yakınmasında, altta yatan kötü bir hastalıkolmadığının saptanarak endişenin giderilmesi hastalarınyakınmalarının geçmesi üzerinde olumlu etkiye sahipti.
