Ortner's Syndrome Associated with Takayasu's Aortoarteritis Identified on Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron-Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography.

Cardiovocal syndrome or Ortner's syndrome is hoarseness voice due to left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy secondary to nerve compression caused by enlarged cardiovascular structures in the mediastinum. We present here an interesting positron-emission tomography/computed tomography image of a patient suspected to have Takayasu's aortoarteritis and presenting with hoarseness of voice.
