- Abstract
- Cardiovocal syndrome (Ortner's syndrome) is characterized by left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy due to cardiovascular disease, but in rare cases it can also be caused by aortic dissection. An 81-year-old man with hypertension was admitted to the hospital with aspiration pneumonia. He had been developing progressive dysphagia and hoarseness for several months before admission. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study showed supraglottic penetration with barium paste and liquid. Laryngoscopy and electromyography revealed left vocal cord palsy caused by left recurrent laryngeal neuropathy, and a contrast-enhanced chest CT revealed dissection of the aortic arch. © Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2006.
