| Abstrakt: | Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), also known as Dunbar syndrome, celiac axis syndrome, or celiac artery compression syndrome, is caused by a band of tissue called the median arcuate ligament that compresses the celiac artery and sometimes the celiac plexus too. MALS does not always cause symptoms, but when symptoms occur, surgery is the treatment of choice. This case report focuses on the case of a 27-year-old woman presenting with postprandial episodes of abdominal pain and vomiting accompanied by loss of weight, which was found to be MALS.
