Background and objectives: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare disorder, recognized as weight loss, nausea, vomiting, and post-prandial pain due to compression and partial obstruction of the third portion of the duodenum by the SMA. If conservative treatment fails, then laparotomy with duodenojejunostomy or lysis of the ligament of Treitz is indicated.Abdominal vascular trauma is rare, lethal, and primarily associated with penetrating mechanisms. The most commonly injured abdominal vessels are the aorta, superior mesenteric artery (SMA), iliac arteries, inferior vena cava (IVC), portal vein (PV), and iliac veins. Mortality from abdominal vascular injuries in modern series remains high at 20 ...Aug 12, 2015 · Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome was first described by Professor Rokitansky in 1842 [1, 2]. Only relatively recently has it established itself as a disease entity. The clinical picture is caused by compression of the 3rd part of the duodenum between the SMA and aorta, which exert a clam-like or striding action on it. Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome, a very rare cause of intestinal obstruction, mainly occurs when a reduced angle between the abdominal aorta and SMA compresses the transverse (third) portion of the duodenum. Most patients present with a prolonged history of the aforementioned symptoms; however, it is not necessary that the cardinal ...Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare condition in which the third portion of the duodenum is compressed between the SMA anteriorly and the aorta posteriorly. The resulting duodenal obstruction is often due to rapid weight loss and commonly resolves with distal tube feeds. Occasionally, patients fail this medical …Superior mesenteric artery syndrome was described for the first time by Rokitansky in 1842 and has an incidence of 0.013-0.3% in the general population with a mortality rate of 33% [1, 2]. Other names also used to indicate this clinical entity include Wilkie's syndrome [ 3 ], aortomesenteric artery compression [ 4 ], arteriomesenteric ...The superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a rare complication of spine surgery. A series of four patients who experienced a SMAS after surgery for either post-traumatic quadriplegia, paraplegia or scoliosis is reported. SMAS is a condition in which the third portion of the duodenum is squeezed between the superior mesenteric artery ...Axial section of CECT abdomen showing a decreased AO distance of 2.9 mm. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is considered one of the rare causes of duodenal obstruction. Reduced AO angle (<22‐28°) and AO distance (2‐8 mm) are highly suggestive. 1 Though conservative medical management is initially considered, surgery is required in many ...Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare disease that causes compression of the third portion of the duodenum. Current definitions focus on the mechanical obstruction secondary to compression of the third portion of the duodenum by the SMA anteriorly and the aorta and vertebral column posteriorly. 1 The duodenal compression often manifests as a sense of fullness in the epigastrium ...Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare condition that causes compression of the third part of the duodenum in between the SMA and abdominal aorta. It is a rare manifestation with an incidence of around 0.1-0.3%. 1 This condition is mainly seen among young females, especially associated with recent weight loss.Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a digestive condition that occurs when the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) is compressed between two arteries (the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery). This compression causes partial or complete blockage of the duodenum.[7987] Symptoms vary based on severity, but can be ...Z95.828 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2024 edition of ICD-10-CM Z95.828 became effective on October 1, 2023. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Z95.828 - other international versions of ICD-10 Z95.828 may differ. Applicable To.Abstract. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a specific type of duodenal obstruction marked by a blockage of the inferior part of the duodenum as a result of compression between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the aorta. Depletion of the mesenteric fatty pad causes this complication. In the current study, we describe a case ...K55.059 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Acute ischemia of intestine, part and extent unspecified The 2024 edition of ICD-10-CM K55.059 became effective on October 1, 2023.Intestinal ischemia is a medical condition in which injury to the large or small intestine occurs due to not enough blood supply. [2] It can come on suddenly, known as acute intestinal ischemia, or gradually, known as chronic intestinal ischemia. [1] The acute form of the disease often presents with sudden severe abdominal pain and is ...Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a rare condition that develops from compression of the duodenum between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and abdominal aorta. SMAS is an atypical complication of restrictive eating disorders. The SMA is supported by adipose tissue to create an aortomesenteric angle that varies from 25-60 degrees.Acute mesenteric ischemia is a rare life-threatening condition that accounts for approximately one in 1000 hospital admissions. The mortality rate is 50%-69% owing to the absence of specific symptoms and laboratory data, which makes early detection of this condition difficult. If the use of contrast material is possible, biphasic contrast material-enhanced multidetector computed tomography ...

Background Most data on large studies of superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) were published over 30 years ago. New studies are needed so that current medical progress can influence SMAS diagnosis and improve therapeutic outcomes. Methods This study was conducted to report the clinical features and outcomes of SMAS. From January 2000 to December 2009, 80 cases (53 females, median age 28 ...Abdominal angina is abdominal pain after eating that occurs in individuals with ongoing poor blood supply to their small intestines known as chronic mesenteric ischemia. [1] Although the term angina alone usually denotes angina pectoris (a type of chest pain due to obstruction of the coronary artery ), angina by itself can also mean "any ...

Objective: The objective of the study was to report the feasibility and results of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) stenting using embolic protection devices (EPDs) to treat acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) and chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI). Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of consecutive patients who underwent SMA stenting with EPDs from 2007 to 2016.Keywords: Bowel obstruction, Nutcracker syndrome, SMA syndrome, Superior mesenteric artery. Go to: 1. CASE. A 15‐year‐old male presented to the emergency department (ED) with abdominal pain and vomiting for 3 days. He described the pain as severe (8 out of 10), sharp, and mostly epigastric.
