Abstract:
A 56-year-old male, chronic smoker, presented with persistent dry cough, hoarseness of voice and difficulty in swallowing. Indirect laryngoscopy revealed left vocal cord paralysis. Further evaluation revealed eccentric saccular aneurysms arising from the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta, compressing the trachea, esophagus, left atrium and left recurrent laryngeal nerve. The patient was diagnosed with Ortner's syndrome which is an uncommon presentation of aortic aneurysm. He awaits an endovascular aorta aneurysm repair.
