Abstract

Globus sensation is a common clinical condition affecting both gender, more prevalent from 25 to 45 years old. Its pathogenesis remains unclear. The majority causes are related to gastrointestinal issues. However, unusual conditions as autoimmune diseases and alimentary allergies have been reported. In this case, we evaluate SIBO as a possible cause of globus sensation. It is a misdiagnosis condition that can lead to other diseases, like irritable bowel syndrome, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and celiac disease. In this case, even after a surgical procedure, patient continues to complain about globus sensation, and only relieved of his the symptoms after an appropriate SIBO treatment.
