title: Aorta coarctation presenting with intracranial aneurysm rupture.
abstract: Most vascular diseases have a tendency to affect both heart and the brain. Intracranial aneurysms are more often found in patients with aorta coarctation than in general population, and aneurysm rupture occurs much earlier in these patients. Here, we report a case of aorta coarctation which was diagnosed with its cerebrovascular complications. Before presenting with cerebrovascular complications, the disease can easily be diagnosed with physical examination and non-invasive radiological investigations like echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
