Abstract
We describe an 11-year-old child who presented with a traumatic aortic transection. This is an extremely rare occurrence in this age group. In managing the injury the future growth of the child must be considered. Primary repair is ideal when possible, but in choosing a graft, the choice of size and material should take cognisance of the risk of a coarctation-like syndrome in the future
