Paradoxical vocal fold motion dysfunction in asthma patients

ABSTRACT Background and objective:  Paradoxical vocal fold motion dysfunction (PVFMD) is a disorder of the larynx characterized by adduction of the vocal cords during the respiratory cycle leading to symptoms of extrathoracic airway obstruction. PVFMD mimics asthma and patients with PVFMD (PVFMD+) a...

description ABSTRACT Background and objective:  Paradoxical vocal fold motion dysfunction (PVFMD) is a disorder of the larynx characterized by adduction of the vocal cords during the respiratory cycle leading to symptoms of extrathoracic airway obstruction. PVFMD mimics asthma and patients with PVFMD (PVFMD+) are often diagnosed incorrectly as refractory asthma and receive unnecessary treatment. This study determined the prevalence of PVFMD in asthma patients and describedthe relationship between asthma and PVFMD. Methods:  A descriptive study of 94 asthmatic patients and 40 control subjects, all of whom were examined via laryngoscopy and had pulmonary function tests were performed. Results:  The prevalence of PVFMD was 19% (n = 18) in the asthmatic group and 5% (n = 2) in the control group (P  0.05). Laryngopharyngeal reflux and allergy were significantly more prevalent in the PVFMD+ group than in the group without PVFMD (PVFMD−) (P

Laryngopharyngeal reflux and allergy were significantly more prevalent in the PVFMD+ group than in the group without PVFMD (PVFMD−) (P &lt; 0.05). The most common symptoms in the PVFMD+ patients were difficulty in breathing (88%), inspiratory stridor (66%) and a choking sensation (50%) and the most common symptoms in PVFMD− asthmatic patients were cough (63%), dyspnoea (55%) and wheezing (51%). Conclusions:  Asthma seems to facilitate the formation of the paradoxical dysfunction in the larynx as the prevalence of PVFMD in asthma patients is significantly higher than in patients with out asthma.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1323-7799</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1440-1843</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/j.1440-1843.2009.01568.x</identifier><identifier>PMID: 19659651</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Melbourne, Australia: Blackwell Publishing Asia</publisher><subject>Adult ; Aged ; asthma ; Asthma - complications ; Asthma - diagnosis ; Asthma - physiopathology ; Case-Control Studies ; Cough - etiology ; Diagnosis, Differential ; Dyspnea - etiology ; Female ; Humans ; Laryngeal Diseases - diagnosis ; Laryngeal Diseases - epidemiology ; Laryngeal Diseases - physiopathology ; Laryngoscopy ; Male ; Middle Aged ; paradoxical vocal fold motion dysfunction ; Prevalence ; Respiratory Function Tests ; Respiratory Sounds - etiology ; Risk Factors ; Severity of Illness Index ; Vocal Cords - physiopathology</subject><ispartof>Respirology (Carlton, Vic.), 2009-07, Vol.14 (5), p.729-733</ispartof><rights>2009 The Authors.
