<p><span>Ortner</span><span>’</span><span>s (cardio-vocal) syndrome is a rare disease entity that involves compression of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve due to enlargement of cardiovascular structures. The syndrome was first described by Norbert Ortner (an Austrian physician) in 1897 and is usually reported to be associated with mitral stenosis. However, we report a rare case when a 20-year-old girl presented with hoarseness of voice and was found to have an enlarged main pulmonary trunk due to pulmonary hypertension that was compressing the left recurrent laryngeal nerve. The case highlights a rare presentation of a relatively common disease and stresses the importance of detailed cardiac workup in a patient with hoarseness of voice. We present the case and review the literature. </span></p>

Abstract Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is an uncommon condition in the children. It almost always accompanies a hypercoagulable state. We described a rare case of Behçet’s disease presenting with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and initially misdiagnosed as coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia.

Cor-triatriatum is a rare cardiac anomaly. In literature, majority case reports on the condition focused on its late presentation in adulthood. It can be easily corrected by surgical intervention to avoid pulmonary congestion and subsequent pulmonary hypertension. We report a rare case of cor-triatriatum with severe pulmonary hypertension in a 7-week-old baby who presented with persistent tachypnoea.
