[Isthmic coarctation of the aorta. Description of an anomalous case].
An anomalous (because of the advanced age of its onset) case of isthmic coarctation of the aorta in preductal site observed at the persistence of hypertensive symptomatology associated with cephalgic and lipothymic attacks is reported. Instrumental examinations confirmed the clinical suspicion and resective-reconstructive surgical treatment led to complete resolution of both cause and effect.
