Laryngeal obstruction may be acute or chronic, with signs varying to match. Stridor and local signs, such as pain, swelling and the presence of foreign bodies, constitute the clinical syndrome. When a patient has obstruction of the pharynx he uses the accessory muscles to maximize airflow that is often manifested by retractions in the neck or abdomen.
