Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare condition characterized by duodenal obstruction due to extrinsic compression by SMA. Any condition which results in rapid, significant weight loss can cause SMA syndrome. Brucellosis is a common cause of pyrexia of unknown origin which can result in loss of appetite and weight loss. Brucellosis resulting in SMA syndrome has not been described in literature. We present a case of SMA syndrome resulting from weight loss due to brucellosis along with a brief review of relevant literature.
肠系膜上动脉（SMA）综合征是一种罕见疾病，其特征为因SMA的外在压迫导致十二指肠梗阻。任何导致快速、显著体重减轻的情况都可引起SMA综合征。布鲁氏菌病是不明原因发热的常见病因，可导致食欲减退和体重减轻。文献中尚未描述过布鲁氏菌病导致SMA综合征的情况。我们报告一例因布鲁氏菌病导致体重减轻进而引发SMA综合征的病例，并对相关文献进行简要综述。
