title: [Traumatic rupture of the aorta presenting as aortic coarctation syndrome].
abstract: Aortic rupture is a frequent cause of death in chest trauma. The coincidence with other associated severe lesions and the absence of clear cardiographic signs may induce to an important delay in the diagnosis. We report a case in which the late apparition of arterial hypertension expressed as an acute aortic coarctation syndrome pointed out the diagnosis. We review the pathogenic mechanisms of arterial hypertension in traumatic aortic rupture and the utility of different diagnostic procedures.
