ABSTRACT
El movimiento paradójico de las cuerdas vocales (MPCV) es un trastorno caracterizado por una inapropiada, involuntaria y paradójica aducción de las cuerdas vocales y bandas ventriculares durante la inspiración, y en casos severos se puede presentar como una obstrucción de las vías respiratorias. Este trastorno se asocia con múltiples etiología tales como reflujo gastroesofágico, trastornos neurológicos periféricos, o centrales, asma y trastornos psicógenos. En el presente artículo se reporta el caso de un niño que presenta tos que había sido tratado inicialmente por asma sin resultados positivos. El examen de fibroscopía flexible revela un cuadro severo de MPCV. Este caso fue tratado con medicación por reflujo, entrenamiento respiratorio y relajación orofaríngea. Se enfatizó el trabajo multidisciplinario con el laringólogo, fonoaudiólogo y orientación psicológica. Revisión de la literatura es discutida.
Paradoxical Vocal Fold Motion (PVFM) is a disorder characterized by inappropriate and involuntary paradoxical vocal folds adduction and ventricular bans 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 with the laryngologist, voice pathologist and counselling. Review of the literature is discussed.
