Abstract

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome or Wilkie’s syndrome is a vascular compression disorder that causes the abnormal compression of the third portion of the duodenum by the SMA. It has a low incidence rate, which is higher in young women, and is rarely associated with the Nutcracker phenomenon: a condition of the compression of the left renal vein between the SMA and the aorta, which manifests as pain in the left flank and pelvis. Here, we report on the case of a 54-year-old woman with a history of repeated episodes of abdominal pain caused by the Nutcracker syndrome and Wilkie’s syndrome.
