ABSTRACT
Ortner's syndrome is a clinical entity with hoarseness due to a left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy caused by cardiac disease. It is a recognized complication of a number of conditions including, atrial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, primary pulmonary hypertension, Eisenmenger's syndrome and aortic aneurysm. A 71-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and diabetes complained hoarseness and hemoptysis for 3 days. Chest X-ray showed a soft tissue mass shadow in the left upper lung field and chest CT scan revealed a thoracic aortic aneurysm. We report a case of left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy due to a huge thoracic aortic aneurysm in an old woman.
