Median arcuate ligament syndrome (Dunbar syndrome)

Discussion:

The following should be considered if celiac artery compression syndrome is suspected:

  • it is a rare condition
  • in this case, it presented as chronic postprandial abdominal pain
  • narrowing of the celiac trunk at the diaphragm is non-specific and commonly seen in asymptomatic patients
  • imaging findings should be correlated with the clinical history
  • treatment is with surgical decompression

Laparoscopic surgical decompression was done for this patient with symptomatic improvement after surgery.
