Abstract
Pseudocoarctation of the aorta with aneurysmal dilatation is a rare condition. We documented a case in an asymptomatic child who presented with widened mediastinum on chest radiography. The pseudocoarctation was documented by echocardiography and digital subtraction angiography. A review of the literature is presented.
