Abstract

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.
