“…The prognosis of MAS is generally poor in untreated cases. Bjork and Intonti 23 found that the average age of death was 30 years in their series of medically treated patients with MAS and hypertension. Young patients with severe hypertension are at high risk of complications, such as myocardial infarction, pulmonary edema, ischemic stroke, and intracerebral hemorrhage.…”

Middle aortic syndrome is a rare variation of aortic coarctation that is localized to the distal thoracic and abdominal aorta, and can involve the visceral and renal arteries. Irreversible organ damage and end-stage congestive heart failure may be the possible harmful complications of this disease in untreated patients. We report a three-year-old patient with diffuse thoracic and abdominal aorta hypoplasia treated with a thoracic to abdominal aortic bypass graft.

“…In case of long hypoplastic segments, bypass grafting around the narrowed segment is the most appropriate alternative [24]. Average age of death was reported 30 years in patients who were managed medically [25]. Cohen et al reported that most patients with abdominal aortic coarctation died by age 35 as a result of complications [26].…”

Central aortic stiffness was evaluated by Sphygmocor device using intersecting tangent algorithm and substructed path length method. Both indices, carotid-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity and Augmentation Index were normal (6.5 m/sec and 36%, respectively). Carotid ultrasound, unexpectedly, revealed diffusely increased Intima Media Thickness of the carotid artery wall (bilaterally mean 1.1-1.2 mm) and presence of two discrete isoechogenic plaques

Atypical coarctation of the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta is a very uncommon vascular disease. Congenital, acquired, inflammatory, and infectious etiologies have been proposed. Patients typically presents with uncontrolled secondary hypertension in the upper half of the body or hypotension in the lower extremities in the first three decades of their lives. We report the case of a 20-year-old man with severe hypertension. Diffuse coarctation of thoracoabdominal aorta associated with bilateral renal artery stenosis was demonstrated clearly by multidetector CT angiography. This is the first case of atypical aortic coarctation diagnosed by MDCTA.
