The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The traditional concept dating back to Hippocrates of globus pharyngeus as an affliction of hysterical women may no longer be credible, but the aetiology remains unclear, possibly multifactorial and/or heterogeneous. As such, primary care physicians and otolaryngologists struggle to reach a consensus on the appropriate investigation of a patient presenting with 'a lump in the throat'.
