Abstract :

Wilkie’s syndrome is a rare syndrome of intestinal obstruction occurring due to compression of third part of duodenum by the superior mesenteric artery.It usually occurs due to reduction of aorto–mesenteric angle caused by a variety of causes. It needs strong suspicion and keen evaluation to diagnose the condition.We present a case of 18 year old boy who presented with post prandial vomiting of 6 months duration along with loss of weight. This case highlights the fact that even rarest of causes should be kept in mind while evaluating a patient with intestinal obstruction.
