Abstract
- Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is defined as compression of the third part of the duodenum secondary to a narrowing of the angle between the SMA and aorta. It is an uncommon disease. We present a patient who suffered from bowel obstruction and eventually perforation of the duodenum and discuss associated imaging findings.
