Ortner's syndrome is a rare cardiovocal syndrome and refers to recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy from cardiovascular disease [1]. It was first described by N. Ortner, an Austrian physician, in 1897.
The most common historical cause is a dilated left atrium due to mitral stenosis, but other causes, including pulmonary hypertension[1], thoracic aortic aneurysms and aberrant subclavian artery syndrome have been reported [1].
Dysphagia caused by a similar mechanism is referred to as dysphagia aortica, or, in the case of subclavian artery aberrancy, as dysphagia lusoria.
A second Ortner's syndrome, Ortner's syndrome II, refers to abdominal angina.
