Abstract

Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition caused by the compression of the duodenum by the superior mesenteric artery. We report a case of an 11-year-old male who complaint of abdominal pain and intermittent vomiting for last 3 weeks. Diagnosis of SMAS was made with the help of radiological findings. The patient was managed conservatively with nutritional support, prokinetic agents, and stomach decompression. After 2 weeks of treatment, the patient’s symptoms improved, and he was discharged from the hospital.
