An Unusual Presentation of Abdominal Pain: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome: A Case Report

Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome, often known as Wilkie’s syndrome, is an uncommon condition characterized by intestinal blockage. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome refers to an acquired vascular compression disorder that can be deadly. It occurs when the superior mesenteric artery and the abdominal aorta constrict, squeezing the third segment of the duodenum. Duodenal compression due to retroperitoneal fat layer loss is one of the pathophysiological factors. In this case study, we describe how superior mesenteric artery syndrome causes vomiting, nausea and distension in the stomach. Your health may suffer and you may even die as a result of a delayed diagnosis. Preventing issues can therefore be aided by early identification and treatment.
