            Notes: Report of two cases, one a 27-year-old man, one a 36-year-old woman, both diagnosed with SMAS and treated with a duodenojejunostomy. Both surgeries were considered successful at 1 year post op. Includes surgical procedures.

            Notes:  Case report of a 40-year-old woman diagnosed with cancer. After surgery to remove cancer, vomiting persisted, and SMAS was diagnosed. Conservative treatment was successful. Link: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S2237-93632011000400015&script=sci_arttext

            Notes: 950 patients with varying degrees of dyspepsia or abdominal pain were screened for SMAS with ultrasound. Reduced angle was demonstrated in 29 patients, which was confirmed by CT for all of them. 34.5% of these patients had symptom onset following weight loss.

            Notes: Case report of a 17-year-old girl diagnosed with SMAS with a 3-year history of illness. After conservative treatment failed, lysis of the duodenum was performed successfully as of 1 year follow up. Lysis of the distal duodenum does not involve an anastomosis but is differentiated from the Strong’s procedure. Includes surgical procedures.

            Notes: Case report of a 14-year-old girl with history of developmental delay and mild motor impairment presenting with acute massive gastric dilation. A gastrostomy was performed, but symptoms persisted, and SMAS was diagnosed. Duodenal derotation led to relief of symptoms, however a jejunal feeding tube remained, which, after being displaced led to a fatal complication.

            Notes: Reports of 4 cases of patients diagnosed with SMAS. Case 1 is an 8-year-old boy with recent history of vascular surgery found to have malrotation and a “kink” at the SMA artery. Mobilization and derotation of the duodenum was successful. Case 2 is a 12-year-old girl diagnosed with SMAS following rapid increase in height without weight gain. Conservative treatment was initially successful, but after a re-occurrence 3 months later, a Strong’s procedure was successful. Case 3 is an 11-year-old boy diagnosed with SMAS after losing weight while in a hip spica for a hip fracture. Conservative treatment with positioning combined with cutting back the cast led to remission of symptoms. Case 4 is a 9-year-old boy with scoliosis who wore a brace diagnosed with SMAS. A Strong’s procedure was successful. Includes diagrams  Link: http://www.jpedsurg.org/article/S0022-3468%2887%2980672-3/abstract

            Notes: Report of 10 cases of patients diagnosed with SMAS and treated surgically. Two patients had history of a Bilroth 1 gastrectomy for peptic ulcer disease. 10 of the patients underwent a retrocolic duodenojejunostomy side-to-side, and one patient underwent a roux-en-y gastrojejunostomy. The surgeries were reported to be successful; however, two patients underwent further surgery for removal of adhesions. Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6733420

            Notes: Case report of a 25-year-old woman diagnosed with SMAS following weight loss with history of a brief psychotic disorder. Conservative treatment was initiated, but when signs of global dehydration and renal failure appeared, a side-by-side duodenojejunostomy was performed. At one month follow-up, she had gained weight and was symptom-free. Link: http://www.em-consulte.com/en/article/260536
