Abstract
We report a patient with Lubag (X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism) who pr esented with severe respiratory strider from adductor laryngeal breath ing dystonia. Emergency tracheostomy was necessary, and subsequent lar yngeal injection with botulinum toxin led to worsening aspiration. Bot ulinum toxin injection for severe lingual dystonia was successful.
