Abstract
Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome or Wilkie’s syndrome is a vascular compression disorder that causes abnormal compression of the third portion of the duodenum by the SMA. It has a low incidence rate, higher in young women, and is rarely associated with the Nutcracker phenomenon: a condition of compression of the left renal vein between the SMA and the aorta, which manifests as pain in the left flank and pelvis. Here we report the case of a 54-year-old woman with a history of repeated episodes of abdominal pain caused by the Nutcracker syndrome and Wilkie's syndrome.
