DELGADO ALONSO, Ada; MORALES DIAZ, Ignacio  e  PITA ARMENTEROS, Luis. Superior mesenteric artery syndrome: a case report and literature review. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2008, vol.47, n.2, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-2945.

A bibliographic review on the superior mesenteric artery syndrome was made. It was reported a case with a symptomatic megaduodenum that also presented abnormalities of the mesenteric artery and congenital anomalies of the duodenojejunal angle and of intestinal malrotation. According to the bibliographic review, it was determined that it is a rare syndrome that is denied by some authors, and that there is no such impingement, but the combination of factors, among which the congenital anomalies prevail.

Palavras-chave : Superior mesenteric artery; megaduodenum; vascular and intestinal abnormalities.
