RODRIGUEZ, A. et al. Síndrome de la arteria mesentérica superior: Presentación de un caso. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2014, vol.78, n.2, pp.96-98. ISSN 1852-9992.
We report a case of superior mesenteric artery syndrome in a 13 year-old female patient, with no relevant medical history, who had been having episodes of postprandial abdominal pain. Multislice Computed Tomography showed decrease of the aorta-superior mesenteric artery distance and narrowing of the normal angle between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery, with obstruction of the duodenum. The clinical and imaging features of the case, as well as a review of the radiological findings of this disease are presented.
