Introduction: Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal obstruction. Diagnosis is confirmed via computed tomography (CT) scan showing acute angulation at the origin of superior mesenteric artery compressing on the duodenum causing proximal dilatation of the second part of duodenum.

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome, a rare cause of duodenal obstruction, occasionally requires surgery. Bowel emphysema might also require surgery and might be an ominous sign of a serious condition. We report the case of a 69-year-old Japanese man with left pneumothorax who was also diagnosed as having bowel emphysema and superior mesenteric artery syndrome simultaneously without serious infection after surgery for the pneumothorax. Following gastric decompression via a nasogastric tube, his general condition resolved quickly with no need for surgical intervention. Prompt and precise diagnosis by computed tomography and both adequate judgment and treatment can avoid surgery in such cases.

The arterial supply of the gallbladder usually arises from the right hepatic artery. Other origins include the left, proper, and common hepatic arteries. We report cases of the cystic artery arising from the superior mesenteric artery and arising from the dorsal pancreatic artery originating in turn from the superior mesenteric artery, as demonstrated by angiography and computed tomography.
