Resumo

Oesophageal or pharyngeal food bolus obstruction is described as a feeling of tightness or obstruction in the throat. Up to half of the population report compatible symptoms at some point in their life, symptoms that are a frequent reason for consultation. Identifying the underlying cause can be complicated, and even though it is a recognised functional disorder, organic causes should be first ruled out. In the absence of obstructive causes, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is considered the most common organic cause. The most relevant complementary tests for studying globus pharyngeus are nasal endoscopy, high gastrointestinal endoscopy, pH-metry and high-resolution manometry. Despite the generally benign character of the symptoms, they can entail a significant reduction in the quality of life.
