Celiac trunk compression, a rare cause of abdominal pain, was successfully treated with surgical release of the diaphragm's arcuate ligament in a 70-year-old female patient.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Celiac trunk compression syndrome (CTCS) can manifest with diverse gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 70-year-old female presented with nausea, epigastric pain, anorexia, and weight loss.
  • Aortography revealed significant compression of the celiac trunk.
  • Initial attempts at percutaneous transluminal angioplasty were unsuccessful.

Findings:

  • Surgical release of the celiac trunk via section of the diaphragmatic arcuate ligament resolved the patient's symptoms.
  • The patient experienced complete symptom resolution and clinical improvement post-surgery.

Implications:

  • Surgical decompression is an effective treatment for symptomatic celiac trunk compression.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering vascular compression in unexplained upper abdominal symptoms.
  • Further research into minimally invasive techniques for CTCS may be warranted.
