Celiac artery compression syndrome

Vascular, 2000
Celiac artery compression syndrome occurs when the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm causes extrinsic compression of the celiac trunk. We report a case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with a three-month history of postprandial abdominal pain, nausea and some emesis, without weight loss.

Clinical anatomy of celiac artery compression syndrome: A review

Clinical Anatomy, 2007
AbstractAnatomic variations are often responsible for a variety of clinical conditions. In this review we investigate compression of the celiac artery and the superior mesenteric artery by the median arcuate ligament (MAL), diaphragmatic crura, or the celiac nerve plexus.

Recurrent celiac artery compression syndrome

International Journal of Angiology, 1999

Pancreaticoduodenectomy and the Celiac Artery Compression Syndrome

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 1990
Celiac compression is usually a benign condition, but when surgery necessitates division of collaterals from the superior mesenteric artery, it may cause life-threatening gut ischemia. We report a case of cholangiocarcinoma necessitating pancreaticoduodenectomy in a patient with celiac artery compression by the median arcuate ligament.
