| Abstract: | We report on two children with advanced acquired immune deficiency syndrome presenting with vasculopathy involving the large vessels. Both patients had extensive involvement of the aorta and its branches. One patient presented with heart failure, and mild systemic hypertension secondary to renal arterial stenosis, while the other patient manifested with gangrene of both arms. |
