Platypnea, or dyspnea in the upright position relieved by recumbency, is most commonly associated with cardiac or pulmonary disease. We describe a patient who presented to the emergency department with platypnea due to a laryngeal carcinoma. A tumor of the upper airway should be considered in any patient presenting with platypnea.
直立性呼吸困难，即卧位时缓解的直立位呼吸困难，最常与心脏或肺部疾病相关。我们描述了一名因喉癌导致直立性呼吸困难而就诊于急诊科的患者。任何出现直立性呼吸困难的患者都应考虑上气道肿瘤。
