Abstract

Celiac artery compression syndrome, Dunbar syndrome, or median arcuate ligament syndrome. They are different names for one syndrome. It is a rare syndrome that can present with recurrent abdominal pain. The condition results from the compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament which is a fibrous band of the diaphragm [1]. The etiology of celiac artery compression syndrome is still not very clear. Not every patient with this anatomic compression develops symptoms.
