Abstract
Anti-IgLON5 disease is a newly discovered novel sleep disorder at the crossroads of neurology and immunology. In addition to the underlying sleep disorder, anti-IgLON5 manifests with progressive aerodigestive symptoms such as dysphagia, stridor, and vocal cord paresis in 90% cases and may present to the otolaryngologist. Herein we present a case of a patient with anti-IgLON5 disease who presented to the hospital with an acute airway including marked stridor and respiratory failure requiring intubation and subsequently a tracheostomy. Laryngoscope, 131:E724-E726, 2021.
