SMA Syndrome

from Medgeeks with Andrew Reid

In this week's podcast, we will discuss Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) syndrome, a condition where the duodenum, part of the small intestine, gets compressed between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. Patients with this syndrome typically present with upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and unintentional weight loss. The diagnosis begins with an x-ray or CT scan. We will also discuss the treatment options to restore normal digestion. Join Dr. Niket Sonpal as he provides insights into this gut ailment. May 27, 2024 — Do you work in primary care medicine?
