Abstract :
We present two cases of Ortner’s syndrome, a syndrome with hoarseness caused by unilateral left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy as a complication of cardiovascular diseases. In the first case, aneurysmatic dilatation of the aorta and in the second case a dilated pulmonary trunk was thought to be the cause.
