Abstract
Paradoxical Vocal Fold. Motion (PVFM) is a disorder characterized by inappropriate and involuntary paradoxical vocal folds adduction and ventricular bands during inspiration. In severe cases PVFM is manifested as airway obstruction. This disorder is associated with multiple etiologies such as gastroesophageal reflux, peripheral or central neurological disorders, psychogenic disorders and asthma. In this paper, we report a case of a child who presents cough. He had been treated initially for asthma without positive results. Flexible laryngoscopy revealed severe PVFM. This case was treated with reflux medication, breathing training and Oropharyngeal relaxation. It was emphasized a multidisciplinary approach whit the laryngologist, voice pathologist and counseling. Review of the literature is discussed.
