Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome

DUODENAL OBSTRUCTION by the superior mesenteric artery (MESENTERIC ARTERY, SUPERIOR) which travels in the root of the MESENTERY and crosses over the DUODENUM. The syndrome is characterized by the dilated proximal duodenum and STOMACH, bloating, ABDOMINAL CRAMPS, and VOMITING. Often it is observed in patient with body casts after spinal surgery.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome:

1.	BariumIBA 12/01/2013 - "Three cases were misdiagnosed as superior mesenteric artery syndrome by barium examination. " 01/01/2009 - "A barium swallow X-ray with small bowel follow-through and computed tomography scan demonstrated remarkable duodenal narrowing between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta, consistent with superior mesenteric artery syndrome. " 04/01/1995 - "A diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome was made from the results of plain films of the abdomen, ultrasonography and roentgenograms after instillation of dilute barium solution. " 10/01/2008 - "After the diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome was confirmed by a superior barium series and a CT-scan, a laparotomy was performed, carrying out the Koecher manoeuvre, cutting the Treitz ligament near of the 4th part of the duodenum until descend that and freeing the aorto-mesenteric space.
