dc.description.abstractVocal cord dysfunction is a rare variety of upper airway obstruction characterized by typical laryngoscopic features and may mimic an acute asthma attack. The case presented in this report pertains to a 15-year-old girl who had repeated acute episodes of dyspnoea and wheezing and remained non-responsive to corticosteroids and inhaled bronchodilators requiring endotracheal intubations for adequate control. Laryngoscopic findings were consistent with vocal cord dysfunction. She was treated with a tracheostomy and psychological support.en_US
