AbstractPrimary pulmonary hypertension is a well known entity with characteristic features more common in females presenting commonly with dyspnea. However primary pulmonary hypertension presenting as hoarseness of voice is rare occurring most likely due to compression of left recurrent laryngeal nerve between normal aorta and dilated tense pulmonary artery. Here we are presenting a case of 19 year old boy with primary pulmonary hypertension who presented with hoarseness of voice as predominant symptom.Copyright © 2014 Cardiological Society of India.
