Abstract

Coarctation of aorta is congenital narrowing of the upper descending aorta adjacent to the site of attachment of the ductusarteriosus. The combination of subclavian artery (SCA) aneurysm with coarctation of the aorta is a rare condition. This causes hypertension in arms, while the blood pressure in legs is lower. We report a case of 42 years old male with coarctation of the aorta and right subclavian artery aneurysm who presented with Horner’s syndrome due to pressure effects of right subclaviananeurysm.
