Abstract
Duodenal compression by the superior mesenteric artery is the postulated cause of the superior mesenteric artery syndrome. This and 2 other cases of renal vein compression reported in the literature suggest that this is uncommon, but should occur more frequently in this syndrome because it is anatomically as vulnerable to compression.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
