Abstract
in English, French

Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is a condition characterized by temporary narrowing or closure of the larynx during physical activity, in particular during intense physical exertion. It generally affects teenagers and young adults and is often misdiagnosed as exercise-induced asthma. Symptoms include dyspnea, wheezing and a feeling of throat tightness during exercise. The aim of this article is to review this often underrecognized condition, its diagnosis and its management.

L’obstruction laryngée induite à l’effort (EILO) est une affection caractérisée par le rétrécissement ou la fermeture temporaire du larynx au cours d’une activité physique, en particulier lors d’un effort physique intense. Elle touche généralement les adolescents et les jeunes adultes et est souvent diagnostiquée à tort comme de l’asthme d’effort. Les symptômes comprennent une dyspnée, une respiration sifflante et une sensation d’oppression au niveau de la gorge pendant l’exercice. Cet article passe en revue cette pathologie souvent méconnue, son diagnostic et sa prise en charge.
