Specific phobia is a type of fear related anxiety disorder in which individuals have permanent and salient fear of an object or a situation differentiating from criterion of the social phobia and agoraphobia. Specific phobias focus on cases with fear of animals, height, storm, wind, dark, closed tight places, plane, swimming and dentist or on specific conditions such as seeing blood. Individuals with specific phobia react to phobia cued stimuli with extreme fear. Specific phobia emerges as one of the most neglected clinical conditions in clinical practice and academic literature. Therefore, the subtype, etiology, epidemiology and treatment of specific phobia are not known precisely. This study aims to report a 29-year-old female case with diagnosis and treatment of brontophobia via collaborating previous literature.
