Résumé

Ortner's syndrome, also known as cardiovocal syndrome, refers to vocal cord paralysis caused by an underlying cardiovascular condition. It is often due to the constriction of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve by the pulmonary artery or left atrium. Recurrent aspiration pneumonia is a frequent complication, which can result in substantial morbidity and mortality. Early recognition and treatment, as well as the resolution of the underlying cause, when feasible, can enhance the otherwise unfavorable prognosis of this condition. In this particular case, a 65-year-old man with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy was diagnosed with hoarseness and evidence of left vocal cord palsy.
