[Ductus aneurysm as a rare cause of inspiratory stridor in the newborn infant].
A paralysis of the left vocal cord was seen by laryngoscopy in a 3-days-old boy with inspiratory stridor. A ductus aneurysm was established by angiocardiography, which was believed to be the cause of the vocal cord paralysis. Within 8 days after the angiocardiography the aneurysm became smaller and the stridor disappeared. Twelfth months later the control-angiocardiography showed the total obliteration of the ductal aneurysm.
