    Author: Tapia A, Sharp A, Llanos O, Rahmer A, Zúñiga A.
    Journal: Rev Med Chil; 1993 Apr; 121(4):425-9. PubMed ID: 8272615.
    Abstract:
    Two young female patients with the syndrome of vascular compression of the duodenum are reported. Both patients presented with a history of vomiting and weight loss. Barium examination of the gastrointestinal tract showed in both cases, marked stomach distention and obstruction of the third portion of the duodenum. In one patient, abdominal CT scan discarded other causes of extrinsic compression. Both patients were operated. The simpler and safer surgical procedure is the section of the Treitz ligament and duodenal liberation, which can be used in the majority of patients.
