Description
Rohan Kubba and co-authors present a 2026 case of a blood vessel compression syndrome in a patient outside its usual group. The syndrome occurs when a ligament presses on the artery that supplies the stomach and liver, and it mostly affects young women. Their patient was a 62-year-old man who smoked and had unhealthy blood fats.
He came to the emergency department with long-standing belly pain after meals, though examination and routine tests showed little. A detailed scan found the artery pinched at its origin by the ligament's angle, with widening just beyond the pinch. No other cause for his symptoms was found. The case warns against ruling the syndrome out by age or sex.
