Abstract
An exhaustive survey is made of the scanty literature on koro (which is called suk-yeong among the Southern Chinese). A series of 19 typical cases, collected over 15 years and some of them followed up, are analysed. Reference is also made to sporadic cases of a comparable kind reported in the West and elsewhere outside S.E. Asia.Keywords
