A 13-year-old girl with arterial hypertension - mid-aortic syndrome.
Mid-aortic stenosis (MAS) is a rare clinical entity that is characterised by profound narrowing of the abdominal aorta. MAS usually presents with severe hypertension. Treatment modalities include antihypertensive medication, angioplasty, and surgery. If adequate treatment is initiated long-term prognosis is favourable. Here, we report on 13-year-old girl with MAS who presented to our hospital with arterial hypertension. Initial diagnostic work-up and treatment in patients with MAS are presented.
