Introduction: Laryngospasm is a life-threatening condition caused due to involuntary contraction in laryngeal muscles. It can last seconds to minutes and may cause hypoxemia, loss of consciousness, and death.
Case presentation: We report a case of laryngospasm in a patient with Coronavirus-2 infection who was admitted to the emergency department for the first time. Laryngospasm was revealed after treatment.
Conclusions: The clinician should note that laryngospasm can be triggered by Coronavirus-2 infection.
Keywords: Coronavirus-2 Infection; Emergency Department; Laryngospasm.
