Abstrakt:	Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), also known as Dunbar syndrome, is a rare but significant cause of chronic abdominal pain resulting from the extrinsic compression of the celiac trunk. This condition typically manifests with symptoms such as postprandial pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss, often leading to a diagnostic challenge due to its mimicry of other abdominal disorders. Diagnosis is based on exclusion and requires a high index of suspicion combined with precise imaging findings. This case report presents a 44-year-old female patient presenting with chronic abdominal pain, diaphoresis, and nausea, underscoring the complexity and diagnostic challenge of MALS, highlighting the significance of early intervention to mitigate morbidity and novelty treatment utilizing robotic-assisted surgical techniques. This report aims to contribute to the understanding of clinical presentations, diagnostic challenges, and treatment modalities of Dunbar syndrome, especially the option of minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery for the treatment of this condition.
