Abstract:
Left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy characterized by hoarseness due to a cardiovascular disorder, which is termed as cardiovocal syndrome or Ortner's syndrome, is an unusual condition. The syndrome might be associated with diverse cardiovascular diseases. However, it is rarely caused by an aortic pseudoaneurysm. The prominent clinical features of such patients are a history of trauma and the injury to or compression of the aortic isthmus involving the laryngeal nerve. Surgical or interventional treatment is necessary, and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy is usually expected to recover after the surgical intervention of the aortic pseudoaneurysm.
