Dyspnea and the larynx.
The larynx is an extremely important and complex part of our airway, and patients commonly seen by an allergist may have a large number of laryngeal problems that may be either totally or partially responsible for their presenting complaints. These problems may be structural in nature or may be related to abnormal motion of the vocal cords. A thorough knowledge of laryngeal anatomy, physiology, and possible pathology, combined with visualization of the larynx is necessary for accurate diagnosis.
