ABSTRACT

Aortic coarctation is a disease that consists in a deformation of the tunica media at the point of origin of the descending aorta. Although clinical manifestations usually occur in newborns and infants, some cases may be diagnosed in later stages of childhood, especially mild to moderate coarctation. Therefore, physical examination is essential when there is suspicion of its presence. The case of a female patient whose diagnosis was made at 3 years of age is reported. It was based on clinical elements (history, auscultatory characteristics, of peripheral pulses, arterial hypertension) and confirmed by imaging techniques. A horseshoe kidney was found as an associated malformation. An interventional procedure (therapeutic cardiac catheterization) was performed and the patient improved.
