Familial coarctation of the aortic arch with bilateral ptosis: a new syndrome?

J Pediatr Surg. 1987 Aug;22(8):724-6. doi: 10.1016/s0022-3468(87)80613-9.

Abstract

A Newfoundland family with the apparently unique syndrome of complex coarctation of the aortic arch, bilateral stenoses of the subclavian arteries, bilateral ptosis, sensorineural deafness, and bronchial asthma is reported. This syndrome appears to have affected at least four generations, and has the characteristics of autosomal dominant inheritance.
