Resumo
Prolonged external irritation to the vocal cords may cause an edematous state of the vocal cords known as Reinke's edema. This may lead to hoarseness and dyspnea. We describe a successful syptomatic treatment of severe dyspnea due to Reinke's edema with a self-adjusting CPAP device. An operation ended the symptom of dyspnea of our patient, but before that the CPAP therapy brought about an effective remedy for dyspnea.
