Abstract
The Koro syndrome, a “special cultural psychiatric syndrome’, is encountered in South China, Malaysia and Indonesia, especially among people of Chinese origin. There are only eight case reports of Koro from the Western hemisphere. We present a typical primary Koro patient from Israel. Jewish cultural mores are a possible contributory factor.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
