Summary

Flexible endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract is valuable for diagnosing globus syndrome. This investigation frequently reveals underlying esophageal conditions like reflux esophagitis and hiatal hernia, aiding in effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Endoscopy

Context:

  • Globus syndrome is often evaluated without upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
  • The diagnostic utility of flexible endoscopy for globus sensation requires further investigation.

Purpose:

  • To determine the diagnostic value of flexible upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in the differential diagnosis of globus sensation.

Summary:

  • 51 patients with globus sensation underwent flexible upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
  • Pathological findings requiring therapy were identified in 70.6% of cases.
  • The most common findings included reflux esophagitis (47%) and hiatal hernia (49%), with esophageal diseases identified as the sole etiological factors in 62.7% of patients.

Impact:

  • Flexible endoscopy significantly contributes to the differential diagnosis of globus syndrome.
