The genital-shrinking syndrome is a transient state of acute anxiety characterized by the triad of a deep-seated fear of penile shrinkage, its disappearance into the abdomen, and apprehension regarding inevitable impotence or even death. It is also known by the Malayo-Indonesian term 'koro'. In the West, koro syndrome has been reported only in relation with various somatic, psychiatric and drug-induced disorders. The vast majority of non-psychiatric cases was related to neurological disorders or intoxication with cannabis or amphetamine. This is the first case of cannabis-induced koro-like syndrome ever reported in Greece.
生殖器萎缩综合征是一种急性焦虑的短暂状态，其特征为对阴茎萎缩、缩进腹部以及对不可避免的阳痿甚至死亡的深深恐惧这三者构成的三联征。它在马来 - 印度尼西亚语中也被称为“缩阳症”。在西方，缩阳症综合征仅在与各种躯体、精神和药物诱发的疾病相关的情况下有报道。绝大多数非精神病例与神经系统疾病或大麻或苯丙胺中毒有关。这是希腊首次报道的由大麻诱发的类似缩阳症的综合征病例。
