Extract
The abnormally long occlusion of the laryngeal aditus by continued action of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles (laryngospasm) has been recorded in many experimental and domestic animals and in man. Most reports on laryngospasm have been related to its occurrence under general anaesthesia where it has been foundin all the domestic species (Lumb, Citation1963; Westhues and Fritsch, Citation1965; Hall, Citation1966) but is most commonly encountered in the cat (Rex, Citation1969).
