Abstract
Recurrent laryngeal nerve in its course, follows a path that brings it in proximity to numerous structures. These structures can interfere with its function by pressure or by disruption of the nerve caused by disease invading the nerve. We report aortic aneurysm and atherosclerotic plaque as a rare cause of left vocal cord paralysis.
