Superior mesenteric artery syndrome

Discussion:

Typical CT and fluoroscopic appearance of superior mesenteric artery syndrome, which occurs when there is extrinsic compression of the third portion of the duodenum due to a narrowed aortomesenteric angle. 

This patient had a long treatment course which was complicated by infection from parenteric nutrition, eventually undergoing duodenojejunostomy to relieve symptoms.
