Abstract
The recurrent laryngeal nerve was often injured following
cardiovascular surgery, intervention, maneuver, and endotracheal intubation. Ortner’s syndrome was defined by Ortner in 1897
as a “cardiovascular disease as an underlying cause of hoarseness” (1). The Vagus nerve and recurrent laryngeal nerve travel
in proximity of cardiovascular structures. Hence, these nerves
are prone to injury during cardiac interventions (2).
Herein, we present a case of a 2-year-old girl with Down syndrome who had left recurrent laryngeal nerve (LRLN) paralysis
after transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure and
presented with pulmonary hypertensive crisis due to upper airway obstruction.
