Abstract
Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is an uncommon clinical condition. A case of duodenal vascular compression and a review of the literature are reported in order to clarify the pathophysiology of the disease. Diagnostic values of hypotonic duodenography and angiography are emphasized. Although, the significance of long-term pH monitoring and gastric emptying for preoperative study and its importance in follow-up after the surgical treatment are evaluated.
