Article Synopsis
- Aortic coarctation is a condition where a part of the aorta is narrowed, often detected in newborns or young kids but can go unnoticed until later in life.
- It can cause various symptoms, with high blood pressure being a common indicator.
- In this case, a 9-year-old was evaluated for high blood pressure, and imaging studies revealed signs suggesting aortic coarctation, which was later confirmed by a CT scan.
