A 14-year-old girl presenting with acute massive gastric dilatation secondary to duodenal obstruction by the superior mesenteric artery is described. The diagnosis was facilitated by contrast-enhanced abdominal computerized tomography. She was successfully treated by gastrostomy and subsequent duodenal derotation. This unique presentation of the superior mesenteric artery syndrome is discussed.
