    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2022 Mar 18; 15(3):. PubMed ID: 35304355.
    Abstract:
    Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS), also known as Wilkie's syndrome, is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal tract obstruction. We report a case of a 10-year-old girl with persistent abdominal pain for over 3 months, who on extensive investigations was diagnosed with SMAS. She underwent a surgical procedure to bypass the obstructed portion of the intestine for relief of her symptoms.
