Abstract
Attention is called to the late development of complete aortic luminal occlusion with severe systemic hypertension in a seven year old boy with clinical features of the rubella syndrome. Necropsy showed that the aorta was occluded by fibrocalcific material, probably the result of organization of thrombus. The distal abdominal aorta and the branches arising from it were severely hypoplastic, as were the renal arteries. Aortic thrombosis and systemic arterial hypoplasia have not been described previously as complications of the rubella syndrome.
