description A 5-year-old female patient presented to the emergency room with right upper limb weakness, inability to speak and left side deviation of the mouth. Computed tomography (CT) scan was done and she was diagnosed with ischemic stroke. During her medical evaluation she was found to have high blood pressure (186/104 mm Hg). Investigations done to evaluate for secondary causes of hypertension and stroke revealed that she has inherited thrombophilia and abdominal aortic coarctation. Balloon angioplasty was done that lowered her elevated blood pressure, which was not responding well to antihypertensive medications, to near normal value for her age.
