| Popis: | We present a 53-year-old female patient with median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS), also known as Dunbar syndrome or celiac artery compression syndrome, related to lumbar lordosis and hip dysplasia. She utilized interprofessional management strategies, which were beneficial in reducing lumbar lordosis and MALS-related symptoms. This finding is important because there are no other reports in the literature describing interprofessional strategies to manage symptoms for patients who are waiting for surgery or are not candidates for surgery. LEARNING POINTS Excessive lumbar lordosis is related to the development of median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) due to the greater distance the median arcuate ligament stretches around the vertebral curves, causing compression of the celiac nerves and artery. It is important to consider the effects MALS has on multiple body systems when diagnosing and developing symptom management strategies. Referrals to interprofessional team members can help the patient manage the vast array of symptoms related to MALS. |
