      Citation Excerpt :

      Diagnosis of vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) has perplexed clinicians for years, owing to its multifaceted nature. Symptoms that present as VCD have also been referred to as paradoxical vocal fold motion (PVFM),1 Munchausen stridor,2 factitious asthma,3 and functional laryngeal stridor,4 among other terms. This variety of monikers can be attributed to the historic lack of understanding about this heterogeneous condition.

      In addition to the 3 terms already mentioned, VCD believed to be primarily caused by a psychological component has been referred to as emotional laryngeal wheezing,12 psychogenic upper airway obstruction,13 and psychogenic stridor.14 Over the past several decades, the recognition that VCD can occur outside psychological illness has shifted the medical literature toward more general terms such as pseudoasthma,15 nonorganic upper airway obstruction,16 functional upper airway obstruction,17 factitious asthma,18 spasmodic croup,19 episodic laryngeal dyskinesia,20 functional laryngeal obstruction,21 functional laryngeal stridor,22 episodic paroxysmal laryngospasm,23 irritable larynx syndrome (ILS),24 and paradoxic vocal fold motion (PVFM).25 Of these terms, the most common are VCD, which is most often used by pulmonologists, allergists, and mental health practitioners, and PVFM, more popular among otolaryngologists and speech-language pathologists.5
