Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Ortner syndrome is a rare cause of hoarseness, resulting from compression of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve by a cardiovascular etiology. It was initially described secondary to left atrial enlargement and mitral valve disease. Other causes have now been recently described. We present a case of Ortner syndrome caused by penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers of the thoracic aorta. |
