Marecek, G. S., Barsness, K. A., & Sarwark, J. F. (2010). Relief of superior mesenteric artery syndrome with correction of multiplanar spinal deformity by posterior spinal fusion. Orthopedics, 33(7), 519. doi:10.3928/01477447-20100526-26 

            Notes: Case report of a 14-year-old boy with history of pervasive developmental disorder (autism spectrum) and scoliosis diagnosed with SMAS. Conservative treatment led to temporary resolution of symptoms with recurrence five months later. He underwent corrective spinal surgery and his SMAS symptoms had begun to improve 1 month post-op and were fully resolved at three months post-op. Article emphasizes importance of recognizing the correlation between scoliosis and SMAS. http://www.healio.com/orthopedics/journals/ortho/2010-7-33-7/%7B8865d102-71f4-4c45-afee-6b29223a6e29%7D/relief-of-superior-mesenteric-artery-syndrome-with-correction-of-multiplanar-spinal-deformity-by-posterior-spinal-fusion
