  • Title: [Wilkie syndrome as a diagnostic challenge in intestinal obstruction: case report].
    Author: Rodriguez-Benites AF, Sanchez-Landers M, Deza Tarrillo NE.
    Journal: Rev Gastroenterol Peru; 2024; 44(1):75-78. PubMed ID: 38734916.
    Abstract:
    Wilkie syndrome is a rare pathology that generates intestinal obstruction due to a decrease of the aortomesenteric angle compromising the third portion of the duodenum. We describe a case of an 18-year-old female patient, diagnosed with Wilkie syndrome, with clinical symptoms of intestinal obstruction and weight loss. The diagnosis was made with abdominal CT. Wilkie syndrome is a rare pathology, which becomes a diagnostic challenge because it presents a similar picture to other more common pathologies. We recommend that it should be suspected in the presence of duodenal obstruction.
