Abstract:
The recurrent laryngeal nerve travels a variable course on either side due to the differences in the structures related during development. The nerve is at risk of injury due to a number of pathologies in any of these structures. We came across a very rare pathology causing vocal palsy in a 62-year-old male with hoarseness of voice. Laryngoscopy examination showed left vocal cord palsy without any obvious laryngeal mass. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography study of the neck and chest revealed aortic arch pseudoaneurysm with left vocal cord palsy.

Palpation Findings
During a respiratory assessment, palpation can reveal several vital abnormalities:
Larynx
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...
