Six instances of aortic aneurysm in children have been observed in the past 15 years. Four children with aortic stenosis and coarctation of the aorta had aneurysmal dilatation of the ascending aorta, and two children with coarctation of the aorta had ruptured post-stenotic dilatation of the descending aorta. Our observations suggest that aortic aneurysm can be the result of hemodynamic stress, although developmental anomaly of the aorta associated with aortic stenosis or coarctation could be responsible for the development of the aneurysm.
