Abstract

The laryngospasm in the exaggerated response of glottic closure reflex. This closure is supported beyond the stimulus that unchained it (it could be presented in recurrent way) and it can lead to hypoxia, hypercopnia, pulmonary edema, gastric aspiration; cardiorespiratory supenction and death. Although the exact cause is still unicnown, It has been thought that the laryngeal stimulation functions as a shooter mechanism of this reflex. Some authors have explained it as a similar response to the brain convulsion-irritation remining even more than the stimulus hasts (similar to a cangenus discase) this revision analyses the pathophysiology of the symptoms as well as their clinical characteristies and treatment.
