Superior mesenteric artery syndrome causing growth retardation
Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2013, Vol 40, Issue 1
Abstract
Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare and lifethreatening clinical condition caused by the compression of the third portion of the duodenum between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery’s proximal part. This compression may lead to chronic intermittent, acute total or partial obstruction. Sudden weight-loss and the related decrease in the fat tissue are considered to be the etiological reason of acute stenosis. Weight-loss accompanied by nausea, vomiting, anorexia, epigastric pain, and bloating are the leading complaints. Barium radiographs, computerized tomography, conventional angiography, tomographic and magnetic resonance angiography are used in the diagnosis. There are medical and surgical approaches to treatment. We hereby present the case of a patient with superior mesenteric artery syndrome with delayed diagnosis. Key words: superior mesenteric artery syndrome, nausea-vomiting, anorexia
