Mid-aortic syndrome is a rare cause of hypertension in the paediatric population. We present here the sonographic findings of a 2 year old who presented with hypertension. Mid-aortic syndrome was diagnosed upon finding renal artery and infrarenal aortic stenoses on ultrasound. The clinical entity and interrogation of the paediatric renal and aortic vessels are discussed.
