Globus Pharyngis (also known as Globus Sensation, Globus or, somewhat outdatedly, Globus Hystericus) is the persistent sensation of having phlegm or some other sort of obstruction in the throat when there is none. Though Globus does not interfere with the function of the throat, it can become quite irritating.

The "lump in the throat" sensation that characterizes Globus Pharyngis is usually due to the inflammation of one or more parts of the throat such as the larynx or hypopharynx.
