Glossodynias are a build up of painful lingual syndromes with neither a detectable visible lesion, nor of a known organic origin. An obvious discordance between the subjective feelings and the weakness, even absence of an objective lesion support able to explain them, can be observed. Being often considered by physicians to be of a psychological origin, they are always the object of never-ending research for a detectable lesion which would explain their complications. Following consultations with 114 patients in the department of Stomatology, and in collaboration with our neuropsychiatrist colleagues in the same hospital, we took stock of this frequent application which bothers the buccal specialist, who does not know to consider it or how to treat it.

Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study is to merge the concepts of hypochondriacal paranoia and somatopsychotic phenomena into a unified clinical framework, considering their classification in modern psychology.
- The analysis involved 29 patients diagnosed with delusional disorders, primarily focused on the relationship between their physical symptoms and psychological perceptions, using a psychopathological method.
- The findings propose a new understanding of somatic paranoia, emphasizing that physical symptoms are interconnected with psychological ideations, suggesting that these somatic symptoms reflect delusional thinking rather than existing independently.
