Coarctation of aorta is a rare congenital cardiovascular condition where patients are at risk of systemic arteriopathy, including hypertension and intracranial aneurysms.¹ Here we report a rare case of young ischemic stroke, who was found to be having a cerebral vasculopathy and coarctation of aorta on evaluation.
