Abstract
A 37-year-old non-smoker male patient with a 6-month history of hoarseness admitted to our hospital. Laryngoscopic examination revealed left vocal cord paralysis with immobile vocal cord in paramedian position. The patient underwent neck and chest CT imaging. Neck CT demonstrated thickening and medial deviation of the left vocal cord, dilatation of the left piriform sinus suggesting left vocal cord palsy. Chest CT showed a fusiform aneurysmal dilatation of the proximal left pulmonary artery with 51 mm diameter. Left laryngeal nerve had been compressed between pulmonary artery aneurysm and arcus aorta.
