A case of superior mesenteric artery syndrome.
Radiology Case Reports 2022 June
Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, also known as Cast syndrome, Wilkie's syndrome, or duodenal ileus, is a rare condition involving compression of the duodenum between the aorta and the SMA, primarily attributed to loss of the intervening mesenteric fat pad. Clinical symptoms include postprandial epigastric abdominal pain, nausea, emesis, and weight loss. At-risk individuals include those with rapid weight loss, debilitating illness, malignancy, malabsorption syndromes, trauma, neurologic injury, eating disorders, and substance abuse. Here, we present a case of SMA syndrome in a 24-year-old woman presenting with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain who improved with conservative management.
