Superior mesenteric artery syndrome and disseminated tuberculosis : "Double troubleˮ

Copyright © 2021 Tuberculosis Association of India. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved..

Superior Mesenteric Artery (SMA) Syndrome is a rare condition characterized by compression of the third part of the duodenum between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery due to decreased angle between these two vessels due to loss of intervening pad of fat. Tuberculosis is one of the causes, and its association with it is rare. However, SMA syndrome with significant gastrointestinal symptoms in TB poses a greater challenge in management, particularly in dissemination. Strong clinical suspicion, timely diagnosis and appropriate antituberculosis therapy are the keys to successful management.
