| Popis: |
Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal obstruction. Nutcracker syndrome occurs as the result of external compression of the left renal vein. Although they share a similar pathophysiology, SMA and nutcracker syndrome occurring simultaneously is rare. In this case report, we discuss the pathophysiology and unique computed tomography findings in a 25-year-old female patient diagnosed with SMA syndrome who was also incidentally found to have a coexisting nutcracker phenomenon. Due to similar pathogenesis, radiologists should consider the possibility of coexistence of these rare syndromes in appropriate patients. |
