[Coarctation of aorta in a neonate? It is not always what it seems: an illustrative case].

Coarctation of the aorta in neonates can manifest as heart failure when there is a certain degree of obstruction. There are some situations that can simulate a coarctation of the aorta in newborns. Diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta based solely on the typical aortic arch image on echocardiography can be misleading and delay an accurate diagnosis.
