Description
Azeem Farooqui and co-authors published a case report in 2025 on a rare cause of belly pain. A ligament in the abdomen can squeeze the artery that feeds the gut. The squeeze hurts most after meals and can cause weight loss.
Their patient was a 32-year-old woman with long-running pain after eating and major weight loss. Scans showed the ligament pressing on the artery. Surgery freed the artery and treated her with success. The report reviews past writing on the syndrome alongside the case. The authors stress that the rare cause is easy to miss.
