Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare and controversial form of upper intestinal obstruction in which the third part of the duodenum is compressed by the overlying superior mesenteric artery. Any disease process decreasing the angle between the superior mesenteric artery and the abdominal aorta can result in the external compression of the duodenum and subsequent intestinal obstruction. The aetiology, presentation, investigation and management of this unusual condition are discussed.
肠系膜上动脉综合征是一种罕见且存在争议的上消化道梗阻形式,其中十二指肠第三部被上方的肠系膜上动脉压迫。任何减少肠系膜上动脉与腹主动脉之间夹角的疾病过程都可导致十二指肠的外部压迫及随后的肠梗阻。本文讨论了这种罕见病症的病因、表现、检查及治疗。
