Unlabelled:
Superior mesenteric artery syndrom is a condition triggered by the compression of the third portion of the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta.
Observations:
A twenty-one year old woman with a significant past history of neurological disease was referred for bilious vomiting and epigastric pain. The diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrom was established by abdominal CT-scan. A laterolateral duodenojejunostomy was performed by laparotomy. After six months follow-up, this patient was asymptomatic.
Conclusion:
Superior mesenteric artery syndrom can be easily diagnosed by abdominal CT-scan. Diagnosis and management of this infrequent syndrom are reviewed.
