The transient closure of the larynx, which develops during EILO, results in dyspnoea, cough, inspiratory wheeze (i.e. stridor) and tightness in the throat on physical exertion. It is estimated that EILO is present in 6% of adolescents and as many as one in four athletes with unexplained respiratory symptoms [1, 2]. Despite improved recognition over the past 5 years [3, 4], it remains frequently misdiagnosed and mistreated as asthma [2, 5].Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is a prevalent problem causing exertional breathlessness and wheeze. This report demonstrates the feasibility and safety of a diagnostic approach to EILO, using a portable laryngoscope during exercise. http://ow.ly/eM6L30njDst ER -
