[Coarctation of abdominal aorta. Congenital or inflammatory origin? (author's transl)].
Angiography in a 28-year-old woman with hypertension revealed coarctation of the abdominal aorta in combination with stenoses of the proximal portions of visceral arteries. One year after the diagnosis was confirmed she had a cerebro-vascular accident. The patient was operated and the hypertension and neurological symptoms returned to normal. The various causes of abdominal coarctation are discussed.
