Laryngospasm is a clinical symptom characterized by involuntary spasms of the laryngeal muscles, which leads to paroxysms of coughing, inspiratory stridor, and sometimes to episodes of complete upper-airway occlusion. Although laryngospasm is a symptom mainly seen in otolaryngeal diseases and in the context of anesthesiological complications, it also occurs in neurological disorders. In this review of the occurrence of laryngospasms in neurological diseases, the clinical symptomatology, additional circumstances, possible underlying causes, and therapeutic options are presented.
喉痉挛是一种临床症状，其特征为喉部肌肉的不自主痉挛，可导致阵发性咳嗽、吸气性喘鸣，有时还会出现完全性上气道阻塞发作。虽然喉痉挛主要是耳鼻喉科疾病及麻醉并发症中出现的症状，但也见于神经系统疾病。在这篇关于神经系统疾病中喉痉挛发生情况的综述中，介绍了其临床症状、其他相关情况、可能的潜在病因及治疗选择。
