The complaint of a lump in the throat without obvious local causes was investigated in a series of 77 patients. Conventional and acid barium studies of the upper alimentary tract revealed pathology in 46.8% of the cases. In one-third of these cases, the diagnosis was provided by the acid barium technique alone. Oesophagoscopy and biopsy were of lesser diagnostic value. Treatment of the reflux oesophagitis results in disappearance of the globus sensation.

Aim: To investigate the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as well as the clinical, endoscopic, and manometric characteristics in 57 adult patients with otolaryngeal symptoms, asthma, or noncardiac chest pain referred from specialized services. Methods: The following evaluations were performed: (1) upper endoscopy, (2) 24-hour ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring, and (3) esophageal manometry. The prevalence of GERD was determined, and demographic, clinical, endoscopic, and manometric characteristics of patients with or without GERD were evaluated. Results: Thirty-four out of 57 patients (60%) had GERD. The 95% confidence interval ranged from 48 to 72%. There was no statistical difference between patients with or without GERD regarding gender, age, or time of evolution of symptoms. Cough was more frequent in the subjects with GERD (75 vs. 25%, p<0.05). Nevertheless, cough was observed in only 53% of the patients with GERD. Patients suffering from laryngitis had a greater proximal and distal esophageal acid exposure time than those without. Conclusions: The prevalence of GERD was 60%. There is not a definite demographic or clinical profile that permits us to distinguish between patients with and without GERD among those with ear, nose, and throat and pulmonary symptoms or chest pain.

“…Oesophageal perforation in patients with cervical osteophytes has been reported after oesophagoscopy [9]. As patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux may complain of dysphagia in the neck region [10], manometric and pH stimulation studies help to exclude motility disorders and gastro-oesophageal reflux.…”

Presentation: a 72-year-old man complained of progressive dysphagia for solids associated with a sensation of foreign body in his throat for 2 years. A barium swallow showed a bridging osteophyte between C4 and C5 vertebrae indenting the oesophagus posteriorly and displacing it anteriorly. Outcome: he refused surgical intervention and was given dietary advice. After 6 months, his weight was steady and he was able to swallow semi-solid food without difficulty.
