“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of pediatric MAS in South Korea. Numerous studies have enumerated clinical features and radiologic findings23456). MAS is prone to be referred to as hypoplasia or coarctation of the descending aorta, which presents with symptoms such as headache, claudication, and postprandial abdominal pain.…”

Idiopathic midaortic syndrome with malignant hypertension in 3-year-old boy

Midaortic syndrome (MAS) is a rare vascular disease that commonly causes renovascular hypertension. The lumen of the abdominal aorta narrows and the ostia of the branches show stenosis. MAS is associated with diminished pulses in the lower extremities compared with the upper extremities, severe hypertension with higher blood pressure in the upper rather than lower extremities, and an abdominal bruit. The clinical symptoms are variable, and recognition in children with hypertension can aid early diagnosis and optimal treatment. Hypertension with MAS is malignant and often refractory to several antihypertensive drugs. Recently, radiologic modalities have been developed and have led to numerous interventional procedures. We describe the case of a 3-year-old boy presenting with left ventricular hypertrophy whose severely elevated blood pressure led to the diagnosis of idiopathic MAS. This case highlights the importance of measuring blood pressure and conducting a detailed physical examination to diagnose MAS. This is the first reported case of idiopathic MAS diagnosed in childhood in Korea.

Öz Midaortic syndrome is an uncommon disease characterized by segmental or diffuse narrowing of abdominal or distal descending thorasic aorta. Majority of the cases are idiopathic but some are secondary to fibromuscular dysplasia, giant cell arteritis, Moyamoya disease or genetic diseases such as neurofibromatosis, Williams' syndrome and Alagille syndrome. It is very rare in newborn period. Here we present a 40 days old infant who admitted to hospital for respiratory distress, hypertension, heart failure and was diagnosed as midaortic syndrome. She had medical treatment but unfortunately died due to heart failure when she was two months old age. Midaortik sendrom nadir bir hastalık olup abdominal veya distal inen aortanın segmental veya difüz darlığı ile karakterizedir. Olguların çoğu idiyopatik olmakla birlikte bir kısmı da fibromüsküler displazi, dev hücreli aterit, Moyamoya hastalığı veya nörofibramatozis, Williams' sendromu ve Alagille sendromu gibi genetik hastalıklara ikincildir. Burada 40 günlük iken hastaneye solunum sıkıntısı, kalp yetmezliği tablosunda başvuran ve midaortik sendrom tanısı alan bir olgu sunulmuştur. Olguda medikal tedavi tercih edilmiş ancak bebek iki aylık iken eksitus olmuştur.
