Abstract
Aortic coarctation is a severe pathology that can be underdiagnosed in pediatric patients. We present 1 case of a patient diagnosed with aortic coarctation in the emergency department, referred by his treating physician when detecting high blood pressure figures. This study focuses on the diagnostic approach and Doppler ultrasound findings.
