ABSTRACT
Ortner's syndrome (cardiovocal syndrome) is the clinical entity of hoarseness due to left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy caused by cardiovascular disease. We present a case of an 86-year-old woman with hoarseness as a prominent symptom due to a large painless aneurysm of the thoracic aorta, which soon ruptured. Cardiovocal syndrome can be a rare but an important and probably the only major clinical finding of a painless aortic rupture.
