This case report highlights the clinical possibility of recurrent symptoms in patients with celiac artery compression syndrome.
Recurrent symptoms may occur after CACS intervention; this case report leaves open questions on incidence and long-term management.
The celiac artery compression syndrome (CACS) is an infrequently described clinical condition with poorly defined diagnostic criteria and an obscure pathophysiology. It is usually associated with an extrinsic compression upon the celiac axis near its takeoff from the aorta by fibrous diaphragmatic bands or sympathetic neural fibers. We present a patient with CACS who suffered a recurrence of her original abdominal complaints.http://link.springer-ny.com/link/service/journals/00547/bibs/8n3p150.html
