A new symdrome of left vocal cord paresis and esophageal diverticulum due to mediastinal fibrosis.
The association of left vocal cord paresis with an esophageal diverticulum pointing to the left at the aorto-bronchial level constitutes a syndrome resulting from mediastinal fibrosis in that region. Demonstration of this type of diverticulum in a case of unexplained left cord paresis establishes mediastinal fibrosis as its cause.
