Abstract
Aortic coarctation is the most common congenital cardiac malformation due to a narrowing of the aorta, most commonly occurring just beyond the left subclavian artery.The diagnosis is mostly neonatal by the systemic palpation of the femoral pulses but can be later discovered at the big childs even at the adult. This fact is illustrated through our observation of a 36-year-old man admitted after a head injury, during his hospitalization the diagnosis of aortic coarctation was made following hypertensive peaks resistant to antihypertensive drugs.
