In Focus: Clinical Imaging of the Median Arcuate Ligament through Cadaveric Exploration
Journal Title: The Journal of Medicine, Law & Public Health (JMLPH) - Year 2024, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The median arcuate ligament (MAL) is at the core of a current controversy piqued by increased research queries regarding its contribution to the pathogenesis of coeliac artery compression syndrome. As our own curiosity was aroused by these queries, we decided to contribute to the discourse by providing a clear visual documentation of the MAL, obtained through cadaveric dissection in the Alfaisal University anatomy laboratory. We believe that reviewing the anatomy of the MAL, and the crura that form it, is crucial in this context.
