Background:
Celiac artery compression syndrome is characterized by postprandial epigastric pain, weight loss, and occasional epigastric bruit, and can be difficult to treat because there are no definitive guidelines. We present a case of a 47-year-old man who had postprandial pain, weight loss, and chronic diarrhea for 5 years, which was resolved with spinal cord stimulation (SCS).
Case Report:
After extensive workup, a diagnosis of celiac artery compression syndrome was confirmed. Due to previous treatment failures, repeat celiac plexus blocks becoming less efficacious, and surgical unsuitability, the patient underwent an SCS trial. They continued having pain relief, so a permanent spinal cord stimulator lead was implanted.
Conclusion:
We highlight complete resolution of celiac artery compression syndrome using SCS.
