Síndrome Ligamento Arcuato Medio

Abstract

median arcuate ligament syndrome background: Median arcuate ligament syndrome (SLAM) is caused by extrinsic compression of the celiac artery by fibrous bands of this ligament and periaortic lymph node tissue. case report: We report a 59 years old man with a history of weight loss, epigastric pain and a postprandial murmur. The syndrome was diagnosed by CT angiography. The patient was operated, performing a midline laparotomy and releasing the extrinsic compression. An early and sustained remission of symptoms was achieved. resumen introducción: El síndrome del ligamento arcuato medio (SLAM), es causado por la compresión extrínseca del tronco celíaco por bandas fibrosas de este ligamento y tejido ganglionar periaórtico. caso clínico: Reportamos el caso de un hombre de 59 años con historia de baja de peso, dolor postprandial y soplo epigástrico, al cual se le diagnostica SLAM por medio de angioTC. Se realiza abordaje quirúrgico, con laparotomía media y liberación de la compresión extrínseca, logrando remisión de los síntomas de forma inmediata y sostenida. El SLAM es una causa infrecuente de dolor abdominal, requiere estudio por imágenes para su diagnóstico, la resolución quirúrgica constituye su tratamiento.Palabras clave: Síndrome ligamento arcuato medio, clínica, diagnóstico, tratamiento quirúrgico.

“…The plant family Cactaceae comprises around 1400 succulent and non-succulent species distributed throughout the entire American continent [1]. In Mexico, more than 150 species of cacti are used by indigenous people, and at least 50 of them are cultivated [2], some species such as Opuntia ficus-indica, Hylocereus undatus, and Acanthocereus tetragonus, stand out for their economic importance as producers of food, forage, and dyes [3][4][5][6]. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in searching for metabolites in some cactus species in order to apply that knowledge in the industry.…”
