Aortic Pseudoaneurysm as an Unusual Cause of Vocal Palsy

The recurrent laryngeal nerve travels a variable course on either side due to the differences in the structures related during development. The nerve is at risk of injury due to a number of pathologies in any of these structures. We came across a very rare pathology causing vocal palsy in a 62-year-...

description The recurrent laryngeal nerve travels a variable course on either side due to the differences in the structures related during development. The nerve is at risk of injury due to a number of pathologies in any of these structures. We came across a very rare pathology causing vocal palsy in a 62-year-old male with hoarseness of voice. Laryngoscopy examination showed left vocal cord palsy without any obvious laryngeal mass. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography study of the neck and chest revealed aortic arch pseudoaneurysm with left vocal cord palsy.
