Abstract

Hoarseness is a symptom of Ortner’s syndrome, a rare disorder caused by mechanical left recurrent laryngeal nerve compression by enlarged cardiovascular structures. This is a case of Ortner’s syndrome in an elderly 74-year-old male with an aortic arch aneurysm presenting with hoarseness. We believe the aneurysm causes the left recurrent laryngeal nerve compression, resulting in unilateral vocal cord paralysis. We emphasise the significance of Ortner’s syndrome as hoarseness of voice, a significant differential diagnosis in an elderly patient despite the absence of cardiac symptoms.
奥特纳综合征:主动脉瘤是单侧声带麻痹的一个原因
声音嘶哑是Ortner综合征的一种症状,这是一种罕见的疾病,由心血管结构扩大引起的机械左喉返神经压迫引起。这是一个74岁高龄男性主动脉弓动脉瘤表现为声音嘶哑的奥特纳综合征病例。我们认为动脉瘤导致左侧喉返神经受压,导致单侧声带麻痹。我们强调Ortner综合征作为声音嘶哑的意义,尽管没有心脏症状,但在老年患者中有重要的鉴别诊断。
