There was grade 3/6 ejection systolic murmur in inter scapular region. Although there is echocardiographic pressure gradient across the arch of aorta like simple coarctation of aorta (COA) there is no significant hemodynamic obstruction or pressure gradient across the lesion (20 mmHg. 1 This condition is also termed as pseudocoarctation of aorta. The elongation leads to redundancy and kinking of the aorta at the level of the ligamentum arteriosum. Congenital kinking of the aorta is a rare condition due to congenital elongation of the aortic arch. It is important to recognize these anomalies as they may be associated with vascular rings, congenital heart disease chromosomal abnormalities and can have important implications for prognosis and management.
