Superior mesenteric artery syndrom is a rare entity, triggered by the compression of the third portion of the duodenum between the superior
mesenteric artery and the aorta. It’s manifested by an acute or chronic high occlusion. Abdominal CT scan is a powerful test for diagnosis. The first line treatment is medical and surgical if the first one fails. Through 3 observation and a review of literature we try to raise the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of this entity
