| Abstract | The median arcuate ligament passes the truncus coeliacus superior to its ostium. If it is thickened and located too low, it can cause external compression and stenosis of the truncus coeliacus, leading to postprandial abdominal pain and vomiting. This combination of symptoms is called median arcuate ligament syndrome. We report the case of a 79-year-old patient who suffered from chronic epigastric pain, which was initially assumed to be caused by either coronary artery disease or atherosclerotic stenosis of the coeliac artery. Angiography excluded coronary artery disease, but showed severe external stenosis of the truncus. The patient underwent laparoscopic release of the median arcuate ligament, which resulted in relief of his symptoms. The median arcuate ligament syndrome should be considered in patients with epigastric stress-induced pain. Further underlying pathologies, especially coronary artery disease, as life-threatening diagnosis have to be initially excluded. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
