Intractable sneezing as a conversion symptom
Psychosomatics.
1995 Mar-Apr.
Abstract
A literature review of reported cases of intractable sneezing reveals that intractable sneezing typically occurs in children or adolescents and is a manifestation of conversion disorder. Analysis of these cases demonstrates a number of features that are helpful in differentiating psychogenic from organic sneezing. Also discussed are aspects of patient management once a diagnosis of conversion disorder is established.
