Psychogenic intractable sneezing in children.

G E Bergman, L B Hiner

    The Journal of Pediatrics
    |September 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Intractable sneezing in children may stem from psychogenic causes, not physical illness. Early intervention for this conversion reaction offers a good prognosis for young patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Child Psychology

    Background:

    • Preadolescent children presenting with severe, intractable sneezing require thorough medical evaluation.
    • Standard pharmacological and local treatments often prove ineffective for unexplained paroxysmal sneezing.

    Observation:

    • Four preadolescent children experienced prolonged, severe sneezing episodes.
    • Hospitalization and extensive medical treatments failed to resolve the symptoms.

    Findings:

    • A psychogenic cause, specifically a conversion reaction, was identified as the underlying issue.
    • This condition is rare and typically observed in children aged 9 to 15 years.

    Implications:

    • Recognizing psychogenic sneezing is crucial for accurate diagnosis in pediatric cases.
    • Timely and appropriate psychological interventions can lead to a positive prognosis and recovery.
