Kaya Ö, Yoldaş T, Karademir S, Örün UA, Sarı E. A pediatric case of Ortner`s syndrome caused by heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension and review of the literature. Turk J Pediatr 2019; 61: 963-966. An 11-year-old male, who complained of hoarseness and fatigue on effort presented to our institution for evaluation. Left vocal cord paralysis and severe pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed. The patient had an enlarged pulmonary artery due to pulmonary hypertension which was responsible for compression to left vocal cord paralysis causing hoarseness. Ortner`s syndrome or cardiovocal syndrome is known as hoarseness due to left vocal cord paralysis secondary to cardiac pathologies. Although hoarseness of voice is frequently encountered in the otorhinolaryngology clinics, pulmonary hypertension related hoarseness is an unusual presentation in childhood.

Ortner's syndrome, also known as cardiovocal syndrome, is a rare cause of hoarseness due to compression of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve caused by pathology of cardiovascular structures in the mediastinum. It was first described by Norbert Ortner in 1897, who associated the syndrome with mitral stenosis. It typically presents as paresis of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, which is mechanically compressed in the area of the aortic arch.

Ortner's syndrome or cardiovocal syndrome is a rare condition referring to laryngeal recurrent nerve paralysis due to cardiovascular conditions. We report the case of a 66-year-old man, with a medical history of active smoking, who complained of hoarseness of voice secondary to vocal cord palsy. A neck and thoracic CT scan revealed severe enlargement of pulmonary main artery, which caused compression of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve in the aortopulmonary window The prolonged course of the left laryngeal nerve makes it susceptible to injury from cardiovascular structures in the mediastinum.

Article Synopsis
- A young female patient experienced a 5-year history of worsening hoarseness and loss of voice, prompting a referral to an ENT clinic.
- A chest X-ray revealed significant enlargement of the left pulmonary artery, but no signs of pulmonary arterial hypertension were detected.
- The provisional diagnosis indicated that the left recurrent laryngeal nerve was being compressed by the left pulmonary artery and aortic arch, a condition known as Ortner's syndrome, which was later confirmed through various diagnostic tests.
Aortic Pseudoaneurysm-Related Acute Ortner's Syndrome Presenting as Sudden Hoarseness: A Case Series.

Article Synopsis
- Two case studies of men aged 76 and 60 presented with sudden hoarseness due to aortic arch pseudoaneurysm, confirmed by laryngoscopy and CT scans, leading to treatment through endovascular aortic repair.
- Despite treatment, one patient faced persistent hoarseness and the other developed severe complications resulting in death, emphasizing the need for immediate diagnosis of hoarseness that could signal aortic-related issues.

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disease characterized by the formation of multiple cysts in bilateral kidneys. While renal complications are predominant, cardiovascular manifestations such as aortic aneurysms can also occur. Although there are a few case reports of giant aortic arch aneurysms, to the best of our knowledge, this has been rarely reported in patients with PKD.
