  • Title: The superior mesenteric artery syndrome; an unusual cause of vomiting.
    Author: Li AC, Jourdan M, Thompson RP.
    Journal: Hepatogastroenterology; 2005; 52(62):469-70. PubMed ID: 15816459.
    Abstract:
    A 29-year-old female presented with anorexia, vomiting and weight loss. A diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome was made based upon contrast duodenography and then at laparotomy when the patient was successfully treated with a duodenojejunostomy. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome is a rare cause of vomiting not detectable by endoscopy, but is eminently amenable to treatment.
