Pseudocoarctation of the aorta is a rare anomaly. Until now, it has been considered to be a benign condition. The case presented in this paper was followed for 12 years, at which time a trilobulated aneurysm developed at the site of the aortic kink. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of such a complication. A possible reason for the aneurysm formation is suggested and the differentiation of pseudocoarctation from true coarctation is briefly discussed.
