Surgical Intervention for Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction
2018, Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Bent and colleagues14 published a combined report that included the patient in the Smith report, as well as a second patient, and concluded a positive outcome in response to carbon dioxide laser supraglottoplasty featuring removal of the corniculate cartilages, as this second patient was significantly improved. In 2000, Björnsdóttir and colleagues described treatment with surgical removal of superfluous mucosa at the rim of the aryepiglottic folds and superfluous mucosa on the tuberculum corniculatum and tuberculum cuneiforme in 2 patients with EILO-supraglottic type.15 A positive outcome was concluded based on unspecified resolution of symptoms that persisted for 3 years.
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction update—2016
2016, Journal of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyPathogenesis, prevalence, diagnosis, and management of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction: A practice parameter
2010, Annals of Allergy, Asthma and ImmunologyCitation Excerpt :Since the initial description of VCD as a functional disorder that mimicked attacks of asthma,297 VCD and glottic structural abnormalities elicited seen with exercise have been increasingly recognized. These functional and structural disorders can be grouped as EILD, including (1) paradoxical VCD, (2) exercise-induced laryngeal prolapse,298 (3) exercise-induced laryngomalacia,299 and (4) variants, including arytenoid collapse while the vocal cords move normally.300 Exercise-induced laryngeal dysfunction occurs in all age groups, especially among young adult female elite athletes.250
Diagnostic criteria for the classification of vocal cord dysfunction
2010, ChestCitation Excerpt :Several studies using exercise laryngoscopy diagnosed patients with either VCD or “exercise-related laryngomalacia” with supraglottic and glottic closure during maximal exercise.86,87 Several case reports describe either arytenoid or aryepiglottic fold closure with exercise.57,88,89 Findings of arytenoid closure have likewise been reported that were unrelated to exercise.90–92
Vocal Cord Dysfunction, Paradoxic Vocal Fold Motion, or Laryngomalacia? Our Understanding Requires an Interdisciplinary Approach
2010, Otolaryngologic Clinics of North AmericaExercise induced dyspnea in the young. Larynx as the bottleneck of the airways
2009, Respiratory MedicineCitation Excerpt :The larynx (Fig. 1) accounts for a significant fraction of total airway resistance at rest, and becomes even more important during exercise.6,7 Patients without symptoms or findings at rest may therefore exhibit inspiratory airflow obstruction at the laryngeal level during high intensity exercise.2,4,8–19 Current understanding of airflow obstruction in the upper airways during exercise has been hampered by lack of diagnostic tools.
