  • Title: Sleep-related laryngeal obstruction presenting as snoring or sleep apnea.
    Author: Kavey NB, Whyte J, Blitzer A, Gidro-Frank S.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1989 Aug; 99(8 Pt 1):851-4. PubMed ID: 2755294.
    Abstract:
    The difference between snoring (with or without sleep apnea) and laryngeal stridor resulting from laryngeal dysfunction may not be readily apparent. Two cases of Shy-Drager syndrome and one undiagnosed case in which laryngeal dysfunction was exacerbated by sleep are reported. Such dysfunction might create life-threatening situations for which emergency tracheostomy should be considered. The importance of differentiating stridor from snoring is discussed.
