Median arcuate ligament syndrome is a rare condition characterized by extrinsic compression of celiac artery and celiac plexus by the median arcuate ligament. Patients typically present with chronic postprandial pain, nausea and occasionally, vomiting and weight loss. Treatment of this syndrome is laparoscopic or open surgical release of median arcuate ligament and gangliectomy. We report a rare case of median arcuate ligament syndrome in a patient who presented with abdominal pain and nausea. The patient was evaluated, investigated and planned for surgical intervention but the patient refused for treatment.

Dunbar syndrome (DS) (or Median arcuate ligament syndrome) is a rare entity of the vascular compression syndrome, where there is focal proximal coeliac axis compression by Median arcuate ligament (MAL). It results in an insufficient supply of blood to the respective organs of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) is a very convenient non-invasive modality in diagnosing this condition and helpful in distinguishing it from other conditions, such as atherosclerotic disease. DS can further be treated disorder surgically by relieving the compression and sometimes may need vascular reconstruction. We present five cases of the DS.
