الملخص الإنجليزي
Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is an uncommon disorder characterized
by postprandial abdominal pain, vomiting, anorexia, and weight loss. The symptoms are
due to the MAL compressing the celiac artery and irritating the celiac plexus/ganglion.
We report the case of one patient who presented with chronic abdominal pain, bloating,
vomiting, and weight loss. Computed tomography angiography led to the diagnosis
of MALS. The patient was treated surgically by laparoscopic division of the MLA and
excision of the celiac plexus. He was discharged on day two without complications. On
one-month follow-up, he was symptom-free, eating well, and had gained weight. He is
on regular follow-up.
