In case of unidentified abdominal pain we have to consider the possibility of the stenosis of the celiac trunk. By our case study we would like to call the attention to the importance of the auscultation over the abdomen, which is a relevant part of the basic physical examinations. When getting to the final diagnosis, apart from the duplex doppler sonography, we also used the results of angiography. The essence of the surgery was to get rid of the outer compression of the artery, which has to be done as soon as possible in order to avoid that compression causes degeneration of the artery itself.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
