The OBJECTIVE was to present the results of surgical treatment of the patient with the combined pathology: celiac trunk compression syndrome and hiatal hernia. In the 63-year-old patient with chronic abdominal pain and dysphagia, a type III esophageal hiatus hernia and a celiac trunk compression syndrome were detected during the examination. The simultaneous operation was performed: laparoscopic decompression of the celiac trunk and laparoscopic removal of the hiatal hernia with fundoplication according to R. Nissen.

Celiac trunk compression stenosis or Dunbar's syndrome, characterized by chronic abdominal pain, is a congenital abnormality based on compression of the celiac trunk by the inner legs of the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm and neurofibrous tissue of the celiac plexus. In the overwhelming majority of cases, Dunbar's syndrome is a congenital malformation, but variants of compression of the celiac trunk by enlarged lymph nodes are also possible and is considered an acquired disease. The review considers modern methods of treatment of Dunbar syndrome in children and the supervision of this group of patients. Key words: Compression celiac trunk stenosis in children, Dunbar syndrome, median arcuate ligament tsyndrome

Abstract. Background: The celiac artery compression syndrome (CACS) is a rarely diagnosed disorder, which is characterized by chronic abdominal pain and vegetative symptoms. The role of surgical treatment in celiac artery decompression has been discussed controversially by numerous authors. After first casuistic descriptions of a laparoscopic treatment in adults we established this novel minimally invasive procedure for treatment in children and adolescents. Patients and methods: Between 2005 and 2014 we operated 58 patients (47 female, 11 male) from 7 to 25 years who had been diagnosed with celiac artery compression. The patients presented with severe chronic abdominal pain, vegetative symptoms and a reduced quality of life. Doppler sonography showed an increased blood flow velocity of the celiac artery with maximum of 190 - 450 cm/s (mean 259 cm/s).MR angiography demonstrated a characteristic hook-shaped appearance of the celiac artery with severe localized compression. Results: All patients underwent laparoscopic decompression of the celiac artery. We observed complications in 3 patients (5,2 %). Postoperatively all patients (100 %) were immediately free of abdominal pain. Doppler sonography showed a marked reduction in celiac blood flow velocity to 70 - 190 cm/s postoperatively (mean 178 cm/s). A return of vessel diameters to normal dimensions was documented by postoperative MR angiography. During a median follow up of 62 months we observed a recurrence of the celiac artery compression in 4 patients (6,9 %). Conclusions: Laparoscopic treatment of celiac artery compression syndrome offers a novel, safe, reliable and, compared to open surgery, less invasive approach. The surgical treatment is indicated in patients with characteristic symptoms and typical findings at Doppler sonography and MRA after exclusion of other abdominal pathologies. The work-up of chronic abdominal pain in children and adolescents should include a color Doppler sonography to look for celiac artery compression.

A 56-year-old woman was found to have retroperitoneal hemorrhage secondary to isolated posterior inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (PIPDA) dissection. She had chronic abdominal pain and celiac artery stenosis, suggesting that PIPDA dissection was associated with celiac artery compression syndrome (CACS). Clinicians may consider CACS as the cause of visceral dissection.

Introdução: A Síndrome do Ligamento Arqueado Mediano, também denominada Síndrome da Compressão do Tronco Celíaco decorre da compressão do Tronco Celíaco pelo ligamento Arqueado Mediano, comprometendo o fluxo sanguíneo e causando sintomas. O grau de compressão varia com as fases do ciclo respiratório, devido a mobilidade das estruturas, sendo maior na expiração. Casuística: O trabalho relata o caso de uma paciente com quadro de dor abdominal crônica, mal definida, há cerca de 25 anos. Os sintomas eram desencadeados pela ingestão de alimentos. Foram realizados exames de imagem para investigação diagnóstica que demonstraram alterações típicas da compressão do Tronco Celíaco pelo Ligamento Arqueado Mediano, como o aspecto em “gancho” na angiotomografia multislice do abdome e aumento das velocidades sistólica e diastólica, no estudo ultrassonográfico com Doppler. Discussão: Diante do quadro clínico apresentado pela paciente, estabeleceu-se o diagnóstico da Síndrome do Ligamento Arqueado Mediano, caracterizada pelos achados imagenológicos citados, associados aos sintomas de dor abdominal crônica, mal definida, geralmente desencadeada pela alimentação. Os estudos de imagem também permitiram a exclusão de outras patologias que poderiam ser a causa das dores da paciente. Conclusão: Os achados de imagem são fundamentais para o diagnóstico da síndrome, pois quando presentes têm alta especificidade e ainda podem excluir outras condições que poderiam causar dor abdominal crônica. O tratamento consiste na secção do ligamento, sua indicação ainda permanece controversa na literatura.Palavras chave: Ligamento Arqueado Mediano, tronco celíaco, compressão vascular.ABSTRACTIntroduction: The Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome, also called Syndrome Compression of the results from of Celiac Trunk compression by the ligament Arched Median, compromising blood flow and causing symptoms. The degree of compression varies with the phases of the respiratory cycle, because of the mobility of the structures, being greater during expiration. Case report: The case reports a history of a patient with chronic abdominal pain, ill-defined, about 25 years. The symptoms were triggered by the ingestion of food .Performed imaging exams that showed changes typical of compression of the Celiac Trunk by Median arcuate ligament, as the appearance of "hook" on multislice CT angiography of the abdomen and increase in systolic and diastolic velocities at Doppler ultrasonographic examinations. Discussion: Given the clinical history presented by the patient, we established the diagnosis of Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome, characterized by the above imaging findings and symptoms associated with chronic abdominal pain, ill-defined, usually triggered by food. Imaging studies also allowed the exclusion of other pathologies that could be the cause of the patient’s pain. Conclusion: The imaging findings are essential for the diagnosis of the syndrome, because they have high specificity and can still rule out other conditions that could cause abdominal pain chronic. The treatment consists in section of the ligament, its indication is still controversial in literature. Key words: Arcuate ligament, celiac trunk, vascular compression
