Abstract :
Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) presenting with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal bloating, pain abdomen and distension of the abdomen can arise as a consequence of acid peptic disease, gastric polyps, malignancy of the stomach or gall stones. Superior mesenteric syndrome is a rare entity causing obstruction of the gastric outlet triggered by narrowing of aorta and mesenteric angle and shortening of aortomesenteric distance. We report a rare case of superior mesenteric syndrome presenting as gastric outlet obstruction to stress the importance of considering superior mesenteric artery syndrome as a differential diagnosis for GOO.
