ABSTRACT

Paralysis of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve as a complication of various types of heart disease is a well known clinical entity. It is a recognized complication of a number of conditions including arterial septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, primary pulmonary hypertension, Eisenmenger’s syndrome and aortic aneurysm. We report a case of left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy associated with a huge thoracic aortic aneurysm in an old man with a history of hypertension. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2008;19:235-238)
