Co-existent Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome and Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome
摘要
Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) and superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) are well known abdominal vascular compression syndrome, but coexistence of these is rarely described in literature. We report a patient presenting with chronic abdominal pain, occasional emesis and weight loss and was diagnosed as having coexistent MALS and SMAS. The patient underwent release of celiac artery compression with posterior gastrojejunostomy with good outcome. Coexistent MALS and SMAS is a rare entity.
