The underlying etiologies of paediatric bowel obstruction are wide ranging. It can be divided into proximal and distal bowel obstruction. Amongst the different etiologies of the proximal bowel obstructions at the level of the duodenum, there are a few etiologies including duodenal atresia, internal hernias, intestinal malrotation, annular pancreas etc. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is amongst one of these differential diagnoses which is more prevalent in the adolescent age group. We describe the imaging features of this entity and its demographics, imaging characteristics, treatment and prognosis.
