A disorder characterized by ulceration or inflammation involving the mucous membrane of the larynx.

A disorder characterized by blockage of the laryngeal airway.

A disorder characterized by a narrowing of the laryngeal airway.

A disorder characterized by an uncomfortable persistent sensation in the area of the laryngopharynx.

A disorder characterized by paroxysmal spasmodic muscular contraction of the vocal cords.
