    Author: Limaye CS, Karande SP, Aher SP, Pati KA.
    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2011 Oct; 59():670-1. PubMed ID: 22479754.
    Abstract:
    Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare cause of obstruction of 3rd part of duodenum between abdominal aorta and the overlying superior mesenteric artery caused by decrease in the angle between the two vessels as a result of rapid loss of retroperitoneal fat. It is seen in conditions causing severe weight loss and catabolic states. We report a case of pulmonary tuberculosis leading to superior mesenteric artery syndrome.
