Surgical treatment of median arcuate ligament syndrome: Case report and review of literature [PDF]
Introduction. Median arcuate ligament (MAL) syndrome, also called celiac trunk compression syndrome (CACS) or Dunbar syndrome is a rare disorder caused by compression of the celiac artery by median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm, which leads ...

A rare case of celiac artery compression syndrome
It is uncommon for children to have celiac artery compression syndrome. We describe a case of celiac artery compression syndrome in a young child who initially reported to us with severe recurrent epigastric pain abdomen and nausea. Historical evidence of rapid weight loss over 15 days. When the child's symptoms persisted despite symptomatic treatment,

Combination between Dunbar Syndrome and May–Thurner syndrome: A rare case Report
Dunbar syndrome (DS) and May–Thurner syndrome (MTS) are part of a group of rare vascular disorders known as “vascular compression syndromes.” Dunbar's syndrome is caused by the median arcuate ligament of diaphragm, which, due to an abnormal course ...

Management of Median Arcuate Ligament Compression in Patients Undergoing Pancreaticoduodenectomy: A Systematic Review and Consensus Statements. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Division of the pancreatic arterial arcade during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) can precipitate visceral ischemia in patients with celiac artery stenosis (CAS). This study investigated optimal management of CAS for patients undergoing PD—particularly stenosis caused by median arcuate ligament (MAL) compression—through a ...

Median arcuate ligament syndrome masquerading as mesenteric angina
Patients with recurrent unclear causes of postprandial abdominal pain should have median arcuate ligament syndrome as a differential diagnosis which is thought to be caused by celiac artery compression. Diagnosis is by imaging such as CT angiography.

Consensus Statement on the Timing of Median Arcuate Ligament Release in Patients With Pancreaticoduodenal or Gastroduodenal Artery Aneurysms Associated With Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Pancreaticoduodenal and gastroduodenal artery aneurysms (PDAA and GDAA) are rare but life‐threatening vascular lesions. Many are associated with median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), a condition associated with increased retrograde collateral flow due to celiac artery compression.
