[Sub-atrophic and atrophic pharyngitis as a manifestation of dystrophic pharyngeal mucosa in presenile, senile and long living persons].
1999
The authors consider diagnostic, clinical and symptom characteristics of atrophic pharyngitis (AP) in presenile, senile and long-living persons and conclude that AP is age-specific dystrophic lesion of the pharynx. Diagnosis formulation by three degrees are suggested: pharyngeal dystrophy (PD) of degree I (only local symptoms cured after timely treatment), PD of degree II (local symptoms + neurotic condition which manifests with cancerophobia, persistent sensation of a foreign body), PD of degree III (persistent cancerophobia demanding psychotherapeutic treatment or psychiatric care).
