Median arcuate ligament syndrome: Incidental finding or real problem?

[摘要] A 43-year-old woman was admitted with pain in the epigastrium and right upper quadrant that radiated to the back and was associated with nausea and dry heaves. The pain had started suddenly 5 days previously. She described it as burning, pressure-like, and intermittent without any relation to meals. She had no vomiting, fevers, chills, change in bowel habits, or unintended recent weight loss. She had a history of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease and had multiple episodes of this epigastric pain over the past few years, but she always thought it was related to her reflux, and it was never this severe. She had never undergone upper endoscopy.
