Cardiovocal Syndrome (Ortner's Syndrome) Associated with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension and Giant Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Figure 3
Chest CT featured the signs of pulmonary arterial hypertension, pulmonary trunk (PT) dilatation, aneurysmal dilatation of the central pulmonary arteries (PA), wall-adherent thrombotic material in pulmonary arteries (asterix), right ventricular hypertrophy (white arrow in (d)). No mass lesion or lymphadenopathy was found and the radiologist suggested the cardiovocal syndrome as a possible diagnosis because of the obvious mass effect caused by the dilated central pulmonary arteries. The possible compression of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve between the aorta and pulmonary artery is well appreciated (black arrow in (a)).
