We suspected exercise-induced anaphylaxis or exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction. Although the patient restricted exercise, similar symptoms occurred even with psychological anxiety and nervousness. Laryngoscopy at the age of eleven during an attack revealed vocal cord closure on inhalation and the patient was diagnosed with inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO).
