Objectives: To review our experience with the diagnosis and treatment of irritant-induced paradoxical vocal fold motion disorder (IPVFMD).
Study Design: Retrospective chart review.
Setting: Tertiary academic referral center.
Objectives/hypothesis: To review our experience at a large division I university with the diagnosis and management of paradoxical vocal fold motion disorder (PVFMD) in elite athletes.
Study Design: A single institution retrospective review and cohort analysis.
