[Obstruction of the celiac trunk and the superior mesenteric artery]

Pancreatic, hepatic and intestinal troubles occurred in a 8 year-old acrogeria girl who was treated for Wilm's tumor by cobalt therapy at 2 1/2 years. Complete obstruction of the coeliac trunk and proximal superior mesenteric artery was shown, associated with hypoplasia of the abdominal aorta and its collaterals in the irradiated areas. Acrogeria might enhance the toxic effects of radiotherapy on vessels.
