MALS(Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome) is rare disease. We experienced the case of MALS and successfully treated by laparoscopic approach.
A 16-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with postprandial epigastric pain that had been present for 3 years. Abdominal three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography showed stenosis of the celiac trunk, and abdominal Doppler ultrasonography showed that the blood flow in the celiac trunk varied between inspiration and expiration. Hence, the patient was diagnosed with median arcuate ligament syndrome. Laparoscopic decompression of the celiac trunk was performed by division of the ligament and partial excision of the celiac plexus. Intraoperative Doppler ultrasonography showed markedly improved flow in the celiac artery. The patient was discharged from hospital on postoperative day 7, and has no recurrent symptoms at 12 months postoperatively.
This case was most youngest male MALS treated by laparoscopic approach.
Laparoscopic division of the median arcuate ligament is a minimally invasive, safe, and effective method for decompression of the celiac artery.
正中弓状韧带综合征(MALS)是一种罕见疾病。我们诊治了一例MALS患者,并通过腹腔镜手术成功治愈。
一名16岁男性因餐后上腹部疼痛3年入院。腹部三维计算机断层血管造影显示腹腔干狭窄,腹部多普勒超声显示腹腔干血流在吸气和呼气之间变化。因此,该患者被诊断为正中弓状韧带综合征。通过切断韧带和部分切除腹腔神经丛进行腹腔镜下腹腔干减压术。术中多普勒超声显示腹腔动脉血流明显改善。患者术后第7天出院,术后12个月无复发症状。
该病例是通过腹腔镜手术治疗的最年轻男性MALS患者。
