Functional upper airways obstruction is caused by vocal cord dysfunction and classically occurs in paroxysms closely resembling acute asthmatic attacks. We present two cases in which the symptoms and signs of the vocal cord dysfunction demonstrate very little variability with time. We suggest that as part of this disorder, a syndrome of chronic unremitting symptoms may occur.
功能性上气道梗阻由声带功能障碍引起,典型表现为阵发性发作,与急性哮喘发作极为相似。我们报告两例病例,其中声带功能障碍的症状和体征随时间变化极小。我们认为,作为这种疾病的一部分,可能会出现慢性持续症状综合征。
