Exercise Induced Laryngeal Obstruction (EILO) is characterised by breathlessness, cough and/or noisy breathing particularly during high intensity exercise. EILO is a subcategory of inducible laryngeal obstruction where exercise is the trigger that provokes inappropriate transient glottic or supraglottic narrowing. It is a common condition affecting 5.7–7.5% of the general population and is a key differential diagnosis for young athletes presenting with exercise related dyspnoea where prevalence rates go as high as 34%. Although the condition has been recognised for a long time, little attention, and awareness of the condition results in many young people dropping out of sporting participation due to troublesome symptoms. With evolving understanding of the condition, diagnostic tests and interventions, this review looks to present the current available evidence and best practice when managing young people with EILO.
