The Use of Systematic Clinical Approach in Diagnosing Rare Cases of Secondary Hypertension: A Case Report of Mid Aortic Syndrome in a Young Patient.

Mid aortic syndrome (MAS) is a rare disease that occurs in children and young adults. The most important clinical feature reflecting vascular involvement is the presence of systemic hypertension. The diagnosis is usually made during the imaging assessment of secondary hypertension when routine echocardiography fails to identify the characteristic morphological or Doppler flow patterns associated with thoracic arch coarctation in the presence of the clinical features of aortic vascular obstruction.
