Résumé
Vocal cord dyskinesia or vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is characterized by intermittent abnormal adduction of the vocal cords leading to airflow limitation at the level of the larynx, in the absence of local organic disease. It may occur in isolation or in association with asthma. The pathophysiology is complex and poorly understood. Wheeze, stridor or apparent upper airway obstruction are the most common symptoms. It occurs in a wide age range, more commonly in women, and diagnosis is often delayed and leads to unnecessary treatments (intubation, tracheostomy and high dose steroids).
