In arachnodactyly, for example, five cases of aneurysmal dilatation of the aortic sinuses were recently reported, three in adults,4 and in identical twins, aged two years.5 Five reports of congenital aortic sinus aneurysms associated with coarctation of the aorta have also been previously published.6-8 Another with a closely related condition, pseudocoarctation, has also been recorded.9Two new cases of coarctation of the aorta with aneurysmal dilatation of the aortic sinuses are herein described.
