    Abstract:
    Coarctation of abdominal aorta, Middle aortic syndrome (MAS) is a rare disease with only 200 reported cases. MAS may present clinically as uncontrolled hypertension, abdominal claudication or lower limb claudication. Surgical treatment is effective in controlling symptoms and improves life expectancy. We present another case of this rare entity, diagnosed and treated at Armed Forced Institute of Cardiology and Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi. This is the second reported case of MAS diagnosed and treated in Pakistan.
