Introduction:
Celiac artery compression syndrome is a rare disorder found mainly in young females. It many a times goes undiagnosed as the symptoms are non-specific and varied.
Presentation of the case:
We present a case of celiac artery compression syndrome in a young female where laparoscopic median arcuate ligament release with celiac ganglionectomy was effective in relieving the symptoms.
Discussion:
Commonly they may present with abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea but there is absence of significant clinical signs. High level of suspicion and the right imaging techniques like the lateral aortogram, helps us to clinch the diagnosis.
Conclusion:
Laparoscopic release of celiac artery compression is a safe and effective method to treat this uncommon disease.
