[Successful surgical management of arterio-mesenterial duodenal compression]

A 17 year old female patient developed in 6 month a gradually exacerbating stomach passage disturbance not responding to conservative treatment. Clinical and radiological examinations verified that the compression of the duodenum was caused by irregular position of the arteria mesenterica superior. The patient was operated on and a dissection and transposition of the duodenum was performed using an end-to-end anastomosis before the arteria mesenterica superior. This method has never been seen in Hungary before. The good result of the operation was verified by the control examinations.
