Abstract
The early recognition and treatment of VCD are imperative to prevent the misdiagnosis and mismanagement of asthma. In addition, VCD and asthma can occur together. The origin and pathogenesis of VCD need to be better defined. More studies comparing the provocation methods during laryngoscopy may be helpful in further standardizing a diagnostic test. Further research is needed to determine whether other noninvasive tests are as effective in diagnosing VCD as laryngoscopy.
