  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Celiac axis syndrome (CAS) is a debated condition.
  • Clinical manifestations include postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss, and epigastric bruit.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic challenges and controversial treatment options for celiac axis syndrome.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis is typically made by exclusion.
  • Confirmation often relies on lateral aortography.

Main Results:

  • The syndrome's existence and diagnostic criteria are subjects of ongoing discussion.
  • Surgical intervention efficacy for CAS is not definitively established.

Conclusions:

  • Celiac axis syndrome presents diagnostic complexities.
  • The therapeutic role of surgery in managing CAS requires further investigation and clarification.
