Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome

Article Abstract:

Abdominal pain, vomiting after eating, and partial obstruction of the small bowel may be caused by superior mesenteric artery syndrome. The symptoms, as illustrated in the case of a 14-year-old girl, result from the superior mesenteric artery compressing the duodenum against the aorta. Radiographic examinations reveal duodenal dilatation that ends abruptly at the third portion of the duodenum. Surgical duodeno-jujenostomy is frequently curative when conservative management is ineffective.
