    Abstract:
    Celiac artery compression syndrome is a rare cause of abdominal pain and weight loss, likely caused by compression of the celiac artery or plexus by the median arcuate ligament. A case of celiac artery compression syndrome in a 17-year-old male patient with severe postprandial pain and weight loss is described. Imaging techniques such as computed tomography, angiography and Doppler ultrasound identified the abnormality, which was corrected by laparoscopic surgery. Le syndrome de compression de l’artère cœliaque est une rare cause de douleurs abdominales et de perte de poids, probablement attribuables à la compression de l’artère cœliaque ou du plexus par l’arcade du psoas. Les auteurs décrivent un cas de syndrome de compression de l’artère cœliaque chez un adolescent de 17 ans manifestant de graves douleurs postprandiales et une perte de poids. Des techniques d’imagerie comme la tomodensitométrie, l’angiographie et l’échographie Doppler ont permis de repérer l’anomalie, qui a été corrigée par laparoscopie.
