Abstract
Median arcuate ligament syndrome, is a rare anatomical and clinical entity characterised by chronic abdominal pain. This condition results from compression of the celiac trunk by a fibrous band of the diaphragm called the median arcuate ligament. generally of fortuitous discovery, its diagnosis is made on computed tomographic angiography. We report the case of a 40-year-old patient who was referred to us for atypical epigastric pain that increased after meals.
