Abstract

A twenty-four-year-old male patient developed a high level gastrointestinal obstruction during hospitalization in intensive care unit following a head trauma. He suffered from vomiting and weight loss and was unable to tolerate nasoenteral feeding. Barium radiographs revealed obstruction in the third portion of the duodenum. Upon failure of conservative treatment, laparotomy was performed, which showed compression and obstruction of the third portion of the duodenum by the superior mesenteric artery. A side-to-side duodenojejunostomy performed yielded complete relief of compression symptoms. The patient was symptomless in the sixth postoperative year. Although primary treatment of superior mesenteric artery syndrome is conservative, surgical treatment should be considered in unresponsive patients.

Özet

Yirmi dört yaşındaki erkek hastada, geçirdiği kafa travması sonrası yatırıldığı yoğun bakım ünitesinde üst seviyeli gastrointestinal tıkanıklık gelişti. Nazoenteral beslenmeyi tolere edemeyen hastada kusma ve kilo kaybı görüldü. Baryumlu radyografik incelemede duodenumun üçüncü kısmında tıkanıklık izlendi. Konservatif tedavinin başarısız olması üzerine yapılan laparotomide duodenumun üçüncü kısmının superior mezenterik arter tarafından sıkıştırıldığı ve tıkandığı görüldü. Hastaya yan yana duodenojejunostomi yapıldıktan sonra sıkışma semptomları tümüyle geçti. Ameliyattan sonra altıncı yılda hastada herhangi bir semptom yoktu. Superior mezenterik arter sendromunda esas tedavi yaklaşımı konservatif olmasına rağmen, bu tedaviye yanıt vermeyen olgularda cerrahi tedavi düşünülmelidir.
