Croup
Bilateral vocal-cord paralysis produces a high-pitched inspiratory stridor. (Stridor doesn’t occur in unilateral vocal-cord paralysis.)[web.archive.org]
METHODS: Children were classified as having recurrent croup if they had had 2 or more episodes of barky cough, inspiratory stridor, and hoarseness.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Inspiratory stridor suggests a laryngeal obstruction, whereas expiratory stridor suggests tracheobronchial obstruction.[emedicine.com]
Angioedema
In severe cases, stridor of the airway occurs, with gasping or wheezy inspiratory breath sounds and decreasing oxygen levels.[en.wikipedia.org]

Laryngeal Stridor
Bilateral vocal-cord paralysis produces a high-pitched inspiratory stridor. (Stridor doesn’t occur in unilateral vocal-cord paralysis.)[americannursetoday.com]

Spasmodic Croup
Our results show that stridor in this patient was due to dynamic inspiratory constriction of the vocal cords.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
