Infrarenal aortic coarctation is a very uncommon vascular disease. It has been named as hypoplasia of abdominal aorta, mid aortic dysplasia, mid aortic syndrome, atrophy of aorta, atresia of the terminal aorta & atypical coarctation. The pathogenesis is still controversial. Hypertension is an almost universal feature of this disorder. We present a case report with postmortem findings of a young female patient having hypoplasia of abdominal aorta for its rarity.
