Abstract
Introduction Ortner's syndrome was first described as a left laryngeal nerve palsy caused by a dilated left atrium in mitral stenosis. Aortic aneurysm is another well-documented etiology. Case record We report the case of a 90 year-old woman with temporal artertis with recent onset hoarseness, and simultaneous discovery of aortic arch aneurysm and left vocal cord palsy. Discussion The occurence of hoarseness and aortic aneurysm in Giant-cell vasculitis is discussed. We suggest to consider Horton's disease (GCA) as a possible etiology of Orner's cardiovocal syndrome.
