Learn how UpToDate can help you. In the majority of patients, the normal angle between the superior mesenteric artery and the aorta is between 38 and 65º due, in part, to the mesenteric fat pad [6]. This angle correlates with body mass index [7]. The aortomesenteric distance is normally 10 to 28 mm [8].

Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome The precise incidence of this entity is unknown. In a review of the literature, approximately 0.013-0.78% of the findings from upper GI tract barium studies support a diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome.uperior mesenteric artery syndrome was first described in 1861 by Von Rokitansky, who proposed that its cause was obstruction of the third part of the duodenum as a result of arteriomesenteric compression.

Case reportSuperior mesenteric artery syndrome and its ramifications The superior mesenteric artery extends anteriorly and inferiorly off the aorta at the level of the first lumbar vertebrae. The duodenal sweep and left renal vein are located in the aorto-mesenteric angle space. A decrease from the normal angle may compress these two structures.

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome What is Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome? Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome is a very rare syndrome characterized by compression of the third portion of the duodenum against the aorta. The compression is caused by the superior mesenteric artery and may result in complete or partial duodenal obstruction.

- There are four types of SMA, categorized by the disease's severity and the age at which symptoms begin: 1  Type I, sometimes called Werdnig-Hoffmann disease, begins to affect infants from birth up to 6 months of age, with most babies showing signs of the disease by 3 months. Some develop the disorder before birth.

- [edit on Wikidata] In human anatomy, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) arises from the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta, just inferior to the origin of the celiac trunk, and supplies the intestine from the lower part of the duodenum through two-thirds of the transverse colon, as well as the pancreas. 1 Structure.

Sclerosing Mesenteritis The small bowel mesentery is most often affected. The symptoms of sclerosing mesenteritis can vary greatly from one person to another and can include a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea/vomiting, bloating, loss of appetite and diarrhea or constipation. Non-gastrointestinal symptoms include fatigue, weight loss, night sweats and fever.

- The splenic flexure is a watershed between the SMA and IMA and is at particular risk of ischemia. Note that acute mesenteric ischemia is distinct from ischemic colitis (see Ischemic Colitis), which involves only small vessels and causes mainly mucosal necrosis and bleeding. Mesenteric blood flow may be disrupted on either the venous or arterial sides. In general, patients > 50 are at greatest risk and have the types of occlusions and risk factors shown in Causes of Acute Mesenteric Ischemia.

The Survival Motor Neuron Protein in Spinal Muscular Atrophy Proximal spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder that results in destruction of the α motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord. SMA has an estimated incidence of 1 in 10 000 live births with a carrier frequency of 1 in 40 (1).

- Other causes of mesenteric adenopathy have typical clinical symptoms and do not produce the large bulky adenopathy that results in the sandwich sign. Mesenteric lymphomas can also show retroperitoneal adenopathy and increased attenuation of the mesentery (misty mesentery). In our case, the absence of symptoms, imaging findings of mesenteric soft-tissue nodules producing sandwich sign and retroperitoneal lymph nodes made lymphoma the most likely diagnosis.

About SMA About SMA. SMA (spinal muscular atrophy) is a disease that robs people of physical strength by affecting the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord, taking away the ability to walk, eat, or breathe. It is the number one genetic cause of death for infants. SMA is caused by a mutation in the survival motor neuron gene 1 (SMN1).
