    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Vascular compression of the duodenum, also known as superior mesenteric artery syndrome, is a rare condition.
    • It occurs when the third part of the duodenum is compressed between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta.

    Observation:

    • The case involves a patient with an acute, intermittent, and worsening clinical presentation.
    • Associated predisposing factors and a potential precipitating factor for the condition were identified.

    Findings:

    • Successful treatment of vascular compression of the duodenum was achieved.
    • The study discusses diagnostic approaches and effective management strategies for this entity.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering vascular compression of the duodenum in patients with unexplained upper gastrointestinal symptoms.
