    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1998 Dec; 53(12):1051-4. PubMed ID: 10210938.
    Abstract:
    The term "cast syndrome" (also called Wilkie's syndrome or superior mesenteric artery syndrome) means an intestinal obstruction caused by a duodenal vascular compression from the superior mesenteric artery. A case of this rare syndrome is reported in a 12-year-old child associated with the treatment by a plastered cast for idiopathic scoliosis. The pathogenesis, diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment are described.
