Abstract:
It is uncommon for children to have celiac artery compression syndrome. We describe a case of celiac artery compression syndrome in a young child who initially reported to us with severe recurrent epigastric pain abdomen and nausea. Historical evidence of rapid weight loss over 15 days. When the child's symptoms persisted despite symptomatic treatment, comprehensive testing revealed that the child had celiac artery compression syndrome. In this report, we emphasize the significance of taking celiac artery compression syndrome into account as one of the differential diagnoses for acute severe epigastric pain that is unresponsive to standard gastritis treatment and when all investigations for pancreatitis, ureteric obstruction, and renal colic are normal.
