    AbstractVocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is an important differential diagnosis in acute dyspnoea. VCD is caused by adduction of the vocal folds during respiration typically leading to attacks of dyspnoea, stridor and coughing. Here we present an extraordinary case of an untypical paradoxical vocal fold adduction in a 15-year-old girl with stridor persisting over several weeks.(c) Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart-New York.
