Abstract

Paradoxical vocal fold movement (PVFM) is characterized by aberrant vocal fold adduction. Although the exact pathogenesis is unknown, botulinum toxin injection, behavioral techniques, including speech therapy, bio-feedback, and cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy are considered for treatment of PVFM. The effectiveness of these treatments is not fully evaluated because of the rarity of disease. We present a case of 16-year-old female with sudden onset of respiratory distress associated with PVFM refractory to several treatments and spontaneously resolved later.
