Abstract:
An atopic woman developed asthma that was not responsive to the usual antiasthmatic medications including steroids. The cardinal symptom was a stridor which in addition to dysphonia and unusual dyspnea led the author to suspect a thoracic inlet obstruction. The suspicion was confirmed by an esophagogram and diagnosis of a subglottic web was made by direct laryngoscopy.
