Middle aortic syndrome (MAS), an uncommon cause of secondary hypertension, is defined by obstructive narrowing of the abdominal aorta and ostia of its major branches like the renal and splanchnic arteries. Most of the cases of MAS are categorized as idiopathic; however, genetic disorders like Williams syndrome, mucopolysaccharidosis, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), and Alagille syndrome, and acquired inflammatory diseases such as Takayasu arteritis and other nonspecific arteritis can also lead to MAS. MAS is commonly seen in children and young adults presenting with severe hypertension, congestive heart failure, renal failure, or severe leg claudication.
