Median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) is a rare condition where chronic recurrent abdominal pain is related to the compressive effects of the median arcuate ligament on the coeliac artery. The mechanism behind this phenomenon is incompletely understood but thought to be both ischemic and neuropathic in nature. As a result, the management of this condition remains controversial. Furthermore, while there have been a variety of options both radiological and interventional described for the investigation of MALS, there has yet to be a consensus in how patients exhibiting symptoms should be assessed and worked up. In this article, we described a laparoscopic coeliac trunk first approach in a young female patient and following review of the literature, propose an algorithm that can be used in the assessment and management of suspected MALS.

Abstract: Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS) is caused by the compression of celiac artery by median arcuate ligament and may cause serious symptoms; such as abdominal pain and weight loss. Here we present a 56 year old man with MALS, whom suffered of postprandial abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea and vomiting. Laparoscopic surgery revealed his symptoms after MALS diagnosis was established. In conclusion, MALS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with complaints of postprandial abdominal pain, nausea and weight loss. Laparoscopic surgery could be as successful as other treatment options in these patients. Keywords: Median arcuate ligament syndrome, Postprandial abdominal pain, Laparoscopic surgery, Nausea, Celiac disease, Coronary artery disease.

Abstract Abdominal vascular syndromes are rare diseases. Although such syndromes vary widely in terms of symptoms and etiologies, certain imaging findings are characteristic. Depending on their etiology, they can be categorized as congenital-including blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome)-or compressive-including "nutcracker" syndrome, median arcuate ligament syndrome, Cockett syndrome (also known as May-Thurner syndrome), and superior mesenteric artery syndrome. In this article, we aimed to illustrate imaging findings that are characteristic of these syndromes, through studies conducted at our institution, as well as to perform a brief review of the literature on this topic.
