Özet
An 11-year-old male, who complained of hoarseness and fatigue on effortpresented to our institution for evaluation. Left vocal cord paralysis andsevere pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed. The patient had an enlargedpulmonary artery due to pulmonary hypertension which was responsiblefor compression to left vocal cord paralysis causing hoarseness. Ortner’ssyndrome or cardiovocal syndrome is known as hoarseness due to left vocalcord paralysis secondary to cardiac pathologies. Although hoarseness of voiceis frequently encountered in the otorhinolaryngology clinics, pulmonaryhypertension related hoarseness is an unusual presentation in childhood.
