    This study presents two young adult cases of megaduodenum caused by an aortomesenteric shunt. Personalized treatment is crucial, emphasizing thorough investigation of individual risk factors and diagnostic elements.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Megaduodenum, a rare condition characterized by abnormal dilation of the duodenum, can be associated with vascular anomalies.
    • Aortomesenteric shunt, a direct connection between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery, is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal distress.

    Observation:

    • Two young adult patients presented with symptoms suggestive of megaduodenum.
    • Diagnostic workup revealed an underlying aortomesenteric shunt as the causative factor in both cases.

    Findings:

    • The cases highlight the potential for aortomesenteric shunts to induce megaduodenum in young individuals.
    • Discussion includes relevant risk factors, diagnostic modalities, and therapeutic strategies for this specific etiology.

    Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of considering vascular causes in unexplained megaduodenum, particularly in younger populations.
  • Underscores the necessity of individualized treatment plans based on comprehensive case evaluation and risk factor assessment.
