JUAREZ-OROZCO, Luis Eduardo et al. Supravalvular aortic stenosis: clinical case report and review. Rev. Fac. Med. (Méx.) [online]. 2014, vol.57, n.3, pp.40-45. ISSN 2448-4865.

Supravalvular aortic stenosis is a left ventricular outflow tract obstructive lesion. It is the least common form of this group of lesions, which only represents 6% of congenital heart disease in children.

This condition is commonly diagnosed during childhood; however we present the case of a 23 year old man who was taken to the hospital for having presented a sudden dyspnea episode with diaphoresis, chest pain without radiation and syncope. He was diagnosed with supravalvular aortic stenosis after echocardiography.

Palabras llave : Supravalvular aortic stenosis; congenital heart defects; Williams-Beuren syndrome.
