Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS)
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome(MALS) is a rare disorder characterised by postprandial intestinal angina due to coeliac artery compression. The median arcuate ligament is fibrous arch that unites the diaphragmatic crura on either side of the aortic hiatus, passes superior to the origin of the celiac artery and is a continuation of the posterior diaphragm that wraps over the aorta. If it lies too low on the aorta, the ligament may cause symptoms of abdominal pain related to compression of the celiac artery.
