title: [False asthmas of the adult].
abstract: Many conditions may simulate asthma, particularly tracheobronchial lesions that are dominated by tumoral stenoses, laryngeal anomalies and cardio-vascular diseases. At the time of the initial assessment of all sibilant dyspneas, certain other complementary examinations should systematically be made: pulmonary radiography, ORL examination and exploration of respiratory function.
