Article Abstract
Mid-aortic syndrome (MAS) is a rare condition characterized by stenosis of the distal thoracic and/or abdominal aorta. Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a relatively rare cause of MAS. We report a case of incidentally diagnosed MAS caused by WBS without typical manifestations caused by an atypical small-sized deletion in chromosome 7q11.23, which was initially misdiagnosed as Takayasu arteritis.

Background: Congenital focal abdominal aortic coarctation (CAAC) is a rare vascular malformation frequently misdiagnosed as mid-aortic syndrome (MAS). A significant challenge in managing CAAC, particularly in young individuals, is addressing the coarctation while accommodating ongoing vascular growth and development. This case highlights the value of multidisciplinary collaboration and imaging-guided stentless balloon angioplasty in preserving vascular growth potential.

Article Synopsis
- Mid-aortic syndrome is a rare condition that leads to narrowing (stenosis) of the aorta, which can affect even newborns.
- A case study is presented involving a 2-month-old girl who had underdevelopment of the lower abdominal aorta and dilated cardiomyopathy.
- Over time, the baby’s aortic narrowing improved naturally while she received targeted treatment for heart failure, allowing her to grow and recover.
Renal Artery Stenosis and Mid-Aortic Syndrome in Children-A Review.

Article Synopsis
- Renal artery stenosis (RAS) and mid-aortic syndrome (MAS) are important but often overlooked causes of high blood pressure in children, with RAS involving the narrowing of renal arteries and MAS affecting the abdominal aorta and associated vessels.
- These conditions can arise from genetic issues and other factors like fibromuscular dysplasia and Takayasu arteritis, making their symptoms complicated and hard to diagnose despite improved imaging techniques.
- Treatment varies from medications that only partially control blood pressure to more invasive options like angioplasty and surgery, and the article emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach and early detection to improve treatment outcomes for affected children.

Article Synopsis
- * While often asymptomatic, IHHs can lead to serious complications in infants, such as heart issues, low thyroid hormone levels, and stunted growth if not treated promptly.
- * The case study discusses a boy with both small skin hemangiomas and multiple liver tumors, emphasizing the diverse locations and patterns of these vascular lesions in the body.
