Abstract:
A case of severe laryngeal diphtheria in a young woman was presented. Initially, the presence of a foreign body in the larynx of this patient was suspected. The differential diagnosis of a foreign body should include diphtheric laryngitis as this may cause obstruction of the respiratory tract. This can lead to severe complications.
