Epiglottic retraction is useful in diagnosis of exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction
Laryngoscopy during heavy breathing is suggested to be useful to detect the epiglottic retraction, which might be overlooked if only continuous laryngoscopy during exercise is used. Epiglottic retraction was not rare in Japanese swimmers' exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction in our cohort and it might be related to the greater lung volume.
