Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (Wilkie Syndrome) with unusual clinical onset: Description of a rare case.

ABSTRACT: Wilkie's Syndrome is a very rare disease caused by reduction of aorto-mesenteric space with consequent duodenum compression. It can combine with left renal vein stenosis which, when symptomatic, is known as "Nutcracker Syndrome". We describe a clinical onset case with epigastric pain without vomiting in a normal weight patient. 28-year-old woman who came to our observation for intense epigastric pain after a weight loss of 14 kg in 4 months. Multidetector Computed Tomography and Ultrasound revealed gastric and duodenal overdistension with hydro-air levels, severe duodenum stenosis, and left renal vein compression. Wilkie's Syndrome is common in anorexic individuals suffering from recurrent postprandial vomiting, onset with severe epigastric pain, without vomiting, is quite unusual. High-calorie diet must be first therapeutic approach, in case of failure treatment of first choice should be endovascular stenting and, only in selected cases, surgical treatment should be used because it is very invasive and burdened with numerous complications. Failure to diagnose this disease can expose patients to serious health risks.

Sanjad-sakati syndrome and its association with superior mesenteric artery syndrome.

Project description:Sanjad-Sakati syndrome (SSS) is an autosomal recessive disorder found exclusively in people of Arabian origin. It was first reported in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1988 and confirmed by a definitive report in 1991. The syndrome comprises of congenital hypoparathyroidism, seizures, severe growth and developmental retardation, low IQ, and atypical facial features. Supportive treatment in the form of vitamin D and growth hormone supplementation is often offered to patients suffering from SSS. This case study focuses on the steps taken to help a patient who was found to have very unusual symptoms and was later found to have superior mesenteric artery syndrome.

Comparison of Superior Mesenteric Artery Remodeling and Clinical Outcomes between Conservative or Endovascular Treatment in Spontaneous Isolated Superior Mesenteric Artery Dissection.

Project description:The aim of this study was to analyze the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) remodeling after initial conservative or endovascular treatment with a standardized definition and midterm outcomes in patients with spontaneous isolated dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SIDSMA). This retrospective study enrolled patients with SIDSMA from January 2007 to August 2019. All patients were treated initially with conservative treatment. If they failed the medical treatment, they were converted to interventional treatment. The morphological endpoint was determined by the standardized SMA remodeling, and the clinical endpoints were determined by the in-hospital mortality, hospital stay, and the bowel-related mid-term mortality. A total of 34 consecutive patients with SIDSMA were identified. Twenty-three (67.6%) and eleven (33.4%) patients underwent conservative and interventional treatments, respectively. Clinical features and morphologic changes on CTA were available in 25 (73.5%) patients during the median follow-up of 23.3 months. Standardized SMA remodeling was significantly (p < 0.05) better in patients undergoing endovascular stenting, especially in patients with Yun's IIb classification. There was no mesenteric ischemia or SMA aneurysm during follow-up period. Patients with SIDSMA can be treated safely with initial conservative treatment. However, significant portions of patients will require endovascular intervention due to the persistent symptoms. Clinically endovascular stenting could be performed successfully, and SMA remodeling was satisfactory during the mid-term follow-up.

A rare manifestation of clinical T1 renal tumor with parasitic arterial supply from the superior mesenteric artery.

Project description:A 50-year-old man with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome who had undergone repeated tumor enucleation and transcatheter arterial embolization for multiple renal cell carcinomas (RCC) was referred to our hospital for percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) of an RCC of 42 mm in the midpole region of the right kidney. Transcatheter arterial embolization was planned prior to devascularize the RCC and selective angiography revealed parasitic arterial supply to the tumor by the ileocecal artery. Parasitic arterial supply to RCCs, particularly in patients with history of nephron-sparing treatment, can originate even from an intraperitoneal source and may lead to unexpected embolization.

Celiac artery thrombosis and superior mesenteric artery stenoses with essential thrombocythemia: a case report.

Project description:Thrombosis of the celiac artery trunk is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. Thrombosis of the celiac artery carries a high mortality and morbidity when the diagnoses and treatment are delayed. It is frequently associated with other cardiovascular events. The most common etiology is atherosclerosis. 20-30% of cases may have symptoms of chronic mesenteric ischemia. Main goal of the treatment is to reestablish the diminished or stopped mesenteric blood flow and to avoid end-organ ischemia. Essential thrombocythemia is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder characterized by marked increase in thrombocyte number and clinical presentation may be with thrombotic episodes, hemorrhage, or both. To our knowledge this is the first report of celiac artery thrombosis and superior mesenteric artery stenoses in a patient with essential thrombocythemia. The patient was managed successfully with surgical treatment.

A man with the rare simultaneous combination of three abdominal vascular compression syndromes: median arcuate ligament syndrome, superior mesenteric artery syndrome, and nutcracker syndrome.

Project description:Median arcuate ligament syndrome and superior mesenteric artery syndrome are well-known abdominal compression syndromes, the coexistence of which is rarely described in literature. In addition, due to the common pathogenesis, anterior nutcracker syndrome may occur simultaneously to superior mesenteric artery syndrome. To our knowledge, this is the first case reporting combination of these 3 syndromes detected with ultrasound, Computed Tomography and upper gastrointestinal fluoroscopic exam. A 69-year-old man came to our attention for rapid weight loss, postprandial epigastric pain and recurrent vomiting for at least 6 months. Doppler ultrasound showed both celiac artery and left renal vein stenosis with simultaneous left varicocele. Computed tomography showed a reduction of aortomesenteric space causing both left renal vein and duodenal stenosis, this latter confirmed by upper gastrointestinal fluoroscopic exam. The diagnosis of these three vascular compression syndromes (MALS, SMAS, and anterior NCS) has been formulated, based on clinical and imaging findings. We assumed that the postprandial crises caused by median arcuate ligament syndrome may induce a reduction of meals consumption and progressive weight loss which can be a cause of anterior nutcracker syndrome and superior mesenteric artery syndrome onset. Doppler ultrasound, in expert hands, allows to accurately diagnosing these syndromes which are often underestimated. Failure to recognize it and inadequate treatment could have serious consequences for patients' health.

Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in association with Abdominal Tuberculosis: An Eye Opener.

Project description:Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS) is a rare clinical entity presenting as acute or chronic upper gastrointestinal obstruction. It occurs due to compression of third part of duodenum between abdominal aorta and overlying superior mesenteric artery caused by a decrease in angle between the two vessels. Rapid loss of retroperitoneal fat, in conditions leading to severe weight loss is the main factor responsible for this disorder. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome in association with abdominal tuberculosis has not been reported earlier to the best of our knowledge. Therefore, an unknown cause (SMAS) of upper gastrointestinal obstruction in a patient of abdominal tuberculosis is being presented for the first time through this case report. An imaging diagnosis of SMAS was made on contrast enhanced CT abdomen which also confirmed the clinical suspicion of abdominal tuberculosis in the patient. The patient was managed conservatively and recovered without requiring any surgical intervention for the obstructive symptoms.

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome following spine surgery in idiopathic adolescent scoliosis: a systematic review.

Project description:Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) is a rare and unpredictable complication after correction spine surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The management of this condition is poorly investigated, with controversial outcomes. This investigation systematically reviewed current evidence on pathogenesis, risk factors, management, and outcomes of SMAS following correction spine surgery for AIS. The present systematic review was conducted according to the 2020 PRISMA statement. All the included investigations reported SMAS presentation following scoliosis correction surgery in AIS. 29 articles with 61 eligible patients were included in this review. The mean age of the patients was 15.8 ± 7.2 years. The mean weight was 45.3 ± 8.0 kg, the mean height 159.6 ± 13.6 cm, and the mean BMI 16.5 ± 2.9 kg/m2. The mean duration of the treatment for SMAS was 21.6 ± 10.3 days. The mean interval between spine surgery and symptoms of SAMS was 69 days, with high between-studies variability (3 days to 4 years). Prompt identification of risk factors and an early diagnosis are necessary to manage SMAS and reduce the risk of complications. Additional investigations are required to establish risk factors and diagnostic criteria.Level of evidence Level IV, systematic review.
