A wide range of cardiovascular etiologies such as valvular heart disease, thoracic aortic aneurysm and congenital heart disease may result in Ortner's syndrome. We present a case of Ortner's syndrome caused by a large diameter (120 mm) aneurysm, previously unreported in the literature. A male patient aged 71 years was admitted to our clinic because of exertional dyspnea, asthenia and hoarseness. In the indirect laryngoscopic examination, left vocal cord paralysis of the patient was observed and his chest X-ray revealed a mass with a diameter of 120 mm that filled the left upper zone. On the thoracic CT, a dissecting aortic aneurysm 120 mm in diameter was seen on the level of the aortic arch. Surgical treatment was suggested, but the patient refused treatment and died at the 4th month of the follow-up period.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAortic AneurysmThoracic/ComplicationsHoarseness/EtiologyOrtner's SyndromeRecurrent Laryngeal NerveVocal Cord ParalysisArticle413225+WOS:0004218851000082-s2.0-848781725092370355810.5543/tkda.2013.47935Q3N/A
