Abstract
Mumps is common disease and it leads to many complications. But pharyngolaryngeal edema with mumps has not been reported yet. So I report two adult cases of pharyngolaryngeal edema with mumps now. Both patients complained of dyspnea. One needed prophylactic tracheostomy. If a patient with mumps complains of dyspnea, the doctor has to examine not only the lower respiratory airway but also the upper airway.
