Popis: Ortner's syndrome refers to the compression of the recurrent laryngeal nerve by cardiovascular disorders of various etiologies. We describe a rare case of Ortner's syndrome caused by thoracic aorta aneurysm and a brief review of literature on this unusual cause of Ortner's syndrome. Hoarseness of voice due to the compression of recurrent laryngeal nerve by thoracic aorta aneurysm could be a harbinger of aneurysmal rupture.
