  Introduction: Dunbar syndrome consists in a rare vascular disorder characterized by extrinsic compression of the celiac artery. This mechanic compression results in symptoms related to intermittent mesenteric ischemia. The goal of treatment is to release celiac artery compression and to restore vessel patency. Here we report two cases treated in our Surgical Department over the last four years. Case Report: A young female of 28 years-old, L.P., and 57-year-old men, E.G., both affected by recurrent post-prandial diffuse abdominal pain, diarrhea and weight loss came to our observation. A complete abdominal evaluation associated to radiologic exams made the diagnosis of CAC syndrome. Both patients were referred to a 3D laparoscopic surgical treatment of CACS with release of the median arcuate ligament. Vessels patency was checked intra-operatively using ecolaparoscopy. Conclusion: Median.. Read More»
