Superior mesenteric artery syndrome

Discussion:

The findings in this patient with post prandial abdominal pain are suggestive of SMA syndrome.

Normally, the aortomesenteric angle and aortomesenteric distance are:

  • aortomesenteric angle: 25°-60°
  • aortomesenteric distance: 10-28 mm

 In SMA syndrome, both parameters are reduced, with values of 6°-15° and 2-8 mm.
