Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) involves duodenal compression between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery.
  • This case highlights SMAS in a young woman with a history of neurological disease presenting with epigastric pain and bilious vomiting.

Observation:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed via abdominal CT scan.
  • A laterolateral duodenojejunostomy was performed laparoscopically.

Findings:

  • The patient achieved complete symptom resolution post-surgery.
  • Abdominal CT scans are effective for diagnosing SMAS.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical management of SMAS can lead to excellent patient outcomes.
  • This case underscores the importance of considering SMAS in patients with unexplained upper gastrointestinal symptoms.
