The aim of this investigation is to establish if there is a relation between the Globus Hystericus (GH) and any psychopathological disorder. In order to do this we have evaluated, the psychological characteristics of a sample of patients that have attended the ENT clinic with G.H., and we have compared them with those of a control group from the same clinic, to see if there were differences between both groups, and if these were statistically significant. The results have show that there are significant differences in the personality of people with G.H. They present higher marks in the Neuroticism and Introversion variables from Eysenck's E.P.Q-A, besides presenting significant differences in the behaviour signs of depression, being evaluated these with the Beck Inventory B.D.I.
In the diagnosis of functional weakness and sensory disturbance, positive physical signs are as important as absence of signs of disease. Motor signs, particularly Hoover's sign, are more reliable than sensory signs, but none should be used in isolation and must be interpreted in the overall context of the presentation. It should be borne in mind that a patient may have both a functional and an organic disorder.
