Abstract

ALMEIDA, N. et al. Um caso de síndrome de compressão do tronco celiaco com eventual componente iatrogénico. J Port Gastrenterol. [online]. 2006, vol.13, n.4, pp.196-201. ISSN 0872-8178.

A 64 years old man presented with recurrent epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting associated with asthenia, anorexia and significant weight loss in the last months. These complaints began in 1998 but worsen in 2002, after surgery for achalasia. The evaluation performed so far favored the diagnosis of recurrent idiopathic acute pancreatitis or a mesenteric ischemia. Abdominal angiography performed revealed a significant celiac trunk stenosis compatible with celiac trunk compression syndrome. Reevaluation of the radiological file suggested a sequel of left superior lobectomy performed in 1994.
