A 34-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of shortness of breath and sore throat. On examination, the patient exhibited stridor and noisy breathing with the rest of the physical examination being within normal range, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of acute uvulitis. We present a case of acute uvulitis in this report. Copyright © 2026 Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
