Abstract
The left-main coronary artery extrinsic compression due to enlarged pulmonary artery has been described in several case series. Ortner's syndrome is also a rare condition in some cardiovascular disorders. There have been no reports about these two rare conditions in the same patient. Hence, we report a very rare case of an Eisenmenger patient with severe pulmonary hypertension and dilated pulmonary artery which has compressed the left main coronary artery, severely narrowing it, and the left laryngeal recurrent nerve with subsequent Ortner's syndrome and brief literature review.
